“We were noticing how
expensive our Comcast Cable bill was becoming, we actually felt
it was getting ridiculous and we decided we needed to look in to
an alternative option. We heard the ad on the radio and we
called to get a Satellite System. We were pleasantly surprised
when we found out we were able to get double the selection of channels
for 25% less then what we were paying.
