HOW DISH STACKS UP

The fact is, DIRECTV can’t compete with DISH’s everyday low prices

When comparing DISH vs. DIRECTV, it’s clear that DISH provides more programming choices, better customer service, more advanced technology and features, and a greater value for your money. When you look carefully at satellite TV prices of DISH vs. DIRECTV, you will see that with DISH, you will pay less for the most-watched channels as DIRECTV offers only half the programming choices that DISH delivers.

If you are considering the switch to satellite TV and are conflicted by the DISH vs. DIRECTV debate, all you have to do is look into what both providers offer. DISH prides itself on its customer service, providing support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so your questions never go unanswered. DIRECTV, on the other hand, received a rating of “D+” from the Better Business Bureau on customer service. Why buy a product or service knowing that when assistance is needed, it’s not always available?

Still not sure? Take some time to compare prices and the right choice will become clear. DISH is simply the best in the industry.

• DISH offers the lowest all-digital package prices nationwide. DIRECTV and Comcast charge an average of $20 more per month for comparable basic digital packages.
• DIRECTV raised their rates by an average of 4.9% - DISH prices stayed the same.
• For only $34.99/mo (for 12 mos.), get the top channels plus more sports than DIRECTV's Entertainment or Choice packages.
• DISH beat Comcast in Customer Satisfaction 11 years in a row.*

Don’t wait. It’s time to switch to DISH.
