I previously had WOW and their Internet was great (hardly any downtime) but their TV options, especially DVR, just sucked. As soon I knew U-verse was available at my address, I signed up. I will warn that they say installation takes about 2 hours but it was more like 4 hours (I'm sure there are many factors that affect this). Since I've had it, my Internet went out ONCE during a horrible storm but was literally back up within 5 minutes. I have never experienced Internet service that is this dependable. I have their U-300 TV service with whole home DVR and it's great - you can record up to 4 shows at once (but it will be less if you are only recording HD so I mix it up) and you can watch from any room, including pausing something and picking it up in another room. Of course we are on a intro promotion for the first 12 months so our price will definitely increase in a few months but hopefully when I call they will give us a deal.

We're looking into Starlink.

If I could give this zero stars, I would. THE worst customer service. I had Direct for 13 years…read morewhen I lived in WV and decided to keep it when I moved to SC. From the start, it was very bad. Before Direct merged with AT&T, their customer service was outstanding. Since the merge, it is so bad, it's beyond description. Many of their phone reps do not have a good command of the English language, so it was extremely frustrating trying to describe the problem. They are unresponsive to viewing problems and it takes an act of Congress to get a service call or replacement box. After I dropped my AT&T cell service, my cost for Direct doubled. I then started to lose local channels without warning. When they dropped CBS with no notice, I dropped them. Don't plan to ever go back.

I signed up for and agreed to a specific Spectrum plan for new service in Conway South Carolina…read more After installation, I received a bill charging $40 more per month than the package we contracted for. When I contacted Spectrum, I explained they had installed a different package than the one we signed up for. They assured me they would correct it and adjust the billing to match the agreed plan. Today, when I went to pay the bill, the error had not been fixed. I contacted them again, and this time they refused to make the adjustment, claiming they "don't prorate bills." This was never about proration--they simply installed and billed for a package we never agreed to. Spectrum is engaging in deceptive billing practices. It's disappointing that they treat customers this way, especially new ones. A reputable company would have corrected its own mistake, had a supervisor reach out, and offered credits or additional service for the inconvenience. Instead, Spectrum is essentially holding customers hostage for extra fees caused by their error. This is egregious. Horrible customer service and fraudulent billing practices. I would not recommend Spectrum to anyone.

When they did, they found out it was not the phone at all but a "backend problem" with their system. So I have not had a phone for 6 DAYS because of their own problem after they wasted TWO HOURS of my time. I am DONE with WOW! and will be terminating our contract as soon as it is possible to do so. I would NEVER do business with these people again.

We asked for our payment back, they refused to return it. They told us we had to take the equipment we had to the Spectrum store to turn it in. I went to the store on Main Street in Summerville, SC this morning (6/17) around 11 AM. I signed in (Rich M) and waited. They had two people working with two customers. During the time I was there 3 additional customers came in and signed in. At 11:25 AM the two spectrum people were still working on the same customers that were there went I came in. I waited another 5 minutes and one of the spectrum people finished with the customer he had. Then he got up and left the room. I was completely frustrated at this point, so I left. I still have the equipment and am trying to figure out how to return it. We left spectrum initially because of poor service. We lost internet service 2 to 3 times a month. I highly recommend that anyone wanting to get internet service go elsewhere. These people are incompetent and do not care about customers.

I struggled a but at the outset whether to give Dish all the stars. The truth is I have problems…read morewith the service. BUT, I have problems with the service because of where I live and I have DISH because of where I live- in a cable dessert. The issue isn't that I would have cable TV instead of satellite. The issue is that I would have cable INTERNET instead of satellite. If I had cable internet I would stream all my TV content, maybe use an antenna for local stations, and I wouldn't have a "TV service Provider" per se. Hello 21st century. We have satellite internet (through HughesNet, which I previously reviewed). The signal I get isn't reliable enough to stream video content, so we have to have a TV Service Provider if we want more than just local TV with an antenna. Compared to other TV Service providers I have had, DISH is far and above the best in terms of customer service. They are prompt and professional and communicate extremely well. They are easy to reach on the phone, by email, or online and the people they send to our home are knowledgeable, efficient, and very personable. It can't be easy to have a job going into the home of customers having problems and they do it very well. Today I had a repair at my home (the repair was for HughesNet which contracts out DISH for at least some of their in home repairs for customers like us who have both)- I scheduled it to be between 8 and 12. I received a call and a text message from the service person (Bobby) at 7:45 that he would be here between 8 and 8:15 and he was here as advertised. He was great and easily fixed our (HughesNet) problem.

I've been using Dish for years, but specifically in Charleston since August of 2015. We recently…read morehad our roof replaced, and had to have a tech come to the house to realign the hardware to the satellite's in space, which I still think is pretty cool in itself. There was a minor glitch in the scheduling, because after my initial appointment was made online, I was offered a "gift" which meant I would receive Epic Movie Package for a month, but once I did that, my package changed overall and my appointment was cancelled. I didn't realize this until waiting through the two hour window for my tech to arrive. Regardless, we got one out the next day and he was very friendly and got out Dish back up and running. As for the package that we have, I don't use the Hopper, because we only want one TV in the house, and the bedrooms should be used for other things rather then watching TV. We use the DVR a lot and have several quality movies and shows (HD & SD) saved which we refer back to from time to time, and honestly, it's the only way that we keep up with our TV shows during the regular seasons. We've considered other options, but I've never been happy with DirecTV and I don't want to lose all of our recordings ;-) As with all home based entertainment providers, I wish the price was better, but we're limited by the quality of the market.

After many years waiting for the opportunity to get back into quality audio and video, when I got…read morethat opportunity, the first thing was to find a shop that KNEW audio and video....not just sold it. The chain stores do have some quality people working for them, but to most of these people it's just a job, not a passion. Fortunately, I happened upon this "hidden" gem in Murrells Inlet. After speaking with both Allen and John on different occasions, I was confident that I found the shop I was looking for. They both took time to listen to what I needed and then made recommendations based on budget and of course, quality. They take the time to explain all of the components and recommend the gear that would work best for me, not the gear that topped out my budget. I took a chance on some brands that I wasn't completely familiar with, and a brand that had given me nightmares in the past. The guys stood behind everything they recommended, gave me a secure feeling that the products I was choosing would do what they said they would do. And then there's the install team... FANTASTIC. No messing around, right down to business, efficient, professional and clearly masters of their craft. Zero mess, zero issues with the equipment, and they took all of the time needed for me to be comfortable with operating things after they walked out the door. It was also important that I was happy with the system after living with it for a week. And pricing?? While I wasn't price shopping by any means... I wanted the good stuff and was fine paying to get it... but prices were well within line of any high-volume chain or internet shop. And those of us in the Myrtle Beach area know the sales tax slap for buying at the beach... Well, this shop is just over the line Georgetown County, so no 10% sales tax! Just an unexpected bonus! Great people, great service, great products and even great prices... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
