This is a great comparison, and putting the providers side by side makes it so much easier to realize which provider is better. From the looks of the list, I’m not even sure that Charter deserves to be mentioned with DISH and DirecTV, mostly due to pricing and what they offer. Then compare DirecTV and DISH next to each other, and DISH beats out DirecTV in pricing and satisfaction. Not to mention that DISH also has the best equipment out there. In fact, their new Hopper that was unveiled at CES is lining up to blow the whole home DVR option out of the water. I’ve been lucky enough to get experience from both companies, working for and subscribing to DISH as well as being a former customer of DirecTV.
