I made the switch from Comcast to Dish a couple years ago knocking my monthly fees by about 40% and getting me a free DVR.
Sadly, I had to join back up with Comcast last year to get my high-speed internet (currently still can't get DSL in my area - 100ft out of range). Paying $60 /month for 8Mbps with *actual* speeds clocking in around 3-4.5Mbps.
My friend who lives 1 mile away is able to get AT&T dsl for 1/2 the price I pay (*not* an introductory rate) and gets slightly faster actual speeds than I do. Needless to say, I will be jumping ship from Comcast for good the moment I can get DSL! Comcast is in desperate need of offering more competitive pricing (rather than 6 month "deals" that get you around the cost of the other guys for the first 6 months!)
