Cablevision Executive Office

I was with Cablevision for over 10 years, but I got tired of what I thought was poor customer service and rising costs. It came to a point where I felt it was so bad that it was time for a switch.
I made the switch to Direct TV.
I am now the biggest fan of Cablevision. This sounds way too much like a commercial, but I promise you that it’s the honest truth. Sometimes you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
When I was making the switch to Direct TV the woman on the phone with Cablevision told me that there was a reason they lock you in with a two year contract. It did make sense at the time, but I figured it was just the cable company trying to hang on to business. It may have been exactly that, but it also ended up being true. Just think about that. Cablevision doesn’t make you sign a contract, it’s because they are confident in their product. Direct TV locks you in, you know why? It’s because they are THE WORST.
Luckily, I recently found out that Cablevision will reimburse you for cancelling your Direct TV contract. I think it’s somewhere in the $ 300 range, but you should call to make sure. Direct TV charges you $ 20 for cancelling each month remaining on your contract. I’m moving in a couple months so it’s not worth the hassle to switch right now, but I assure you the new house will have Cablevision.
We all have our preferences. But if you’re one of those people that is on the fence and unsure about whether to go with Cablevision, Verizon Fios or Direct TV, like I was about a year ago, do yourself a favor and do not even consider Direct TV. I can’t speak for Verizon, but I can speak for both Cablevision and Direct TV — save yourself the headache and go with Cablevision. I’m telling you, Direct TV is a nightmare.
