Every so often, I think about converting from cable to dish, but the two
dish companies here seem unwilling or incapable of distributing info

Satellite TV service is very susceptible to thunderstorm outages.
Fiber optic is the way to go if they have it in your area.

I have Dish with the OTA module in the DVR so I get the best of both
worlds.

Comcast was too unreliable to seriously consider and it would
certainly never be my "one pipe" connection to the world.

I had one outage with Comcast that I can remember, 3 or 4 years ago.

You might not know how often you have a drop out unless you are
pinging the net fairly regularly. I hit it once a minute with the
weather station. The outages were usually a few minutes at a time but
some went for an hour or more.

After a storm like Charley and Wilma, it was out for a couple weeks.
TV came back in a week but the net didn't.

My Outlook sends and receives every 30 seconds.
