Compare to Satellite



Initial Cost


BendBroadband Digital Cable installation for a business is significantly less than professional installation of a new satellite system. And, with Digital Cable you are not required to purchase additional equipment.

Multiple TV Sets


BendBroadband provides service to all your TV's without the extra, expensive equipment needed for a dish system. With Cable you can watch different shows on different TV's at the same time. With a satellite service, to watch different channels on different sets, you'll need to lease or buy an additional receiver for each set at a cost of $99 to $350 or more.

Local Channels


BendBroadband provides access to Bend broadcast stations, as well as our own COTV. However, with satellite systems, local channel availability varies from market to market. And, although recent legislation has increased availability of broadcast channels to satellite systems, local PBS and other broadcasters may still be unavailable to you.

Weather Disruptions


With satellite systems, bad weather or heavy clouds can often interfere and interrupt your viewing. Disruptions to Cable service due to weather is a rare occurrence.

Local Customer Service


If you need service, BendBroadband is right here in our community with free, on-time service calls. With satellite companies, typically you would need to call an 800 number to a service center outside of our community.

Repairs


Different satellite equipment providers offer different warranties. If your unit needs to be repaired you may need to send it way to be serviced. During this time, you may or may not be provided with a replacement unit.
With BendBroadband, if a piece of equipment becomes inoperable or defective, it will be replaced as soon as possible without any additional cost and with limited service disruptions.

New Technology and Upgrades


BendBroadband Digital Cable is better positioned to provide the benefits of new technology such as telecommunications and two-way interactivity. When these services become available, the Cable subscriber has no need to purchase an upgraded unit, whereas satellite dish owners will have to in order to stay current with new technology.

Long-term Commitments


As a BendBroadband Digital Cable subscriber, you have the option to terminate your service at any time. However, if you have purchased a satellite system, in most cases, it is yours for good, and like it or not, it cannot be returned.

Monthly Subscription Rate


Satellite and Cable companies both pay for the programming that they provide their customers. Networks, such as ESPN and Discovery continue to raise their rates each year. Cost increases do eventually get passed on to the consumer. Satellite companies subscribers spend more per month than comparable service with BendBroadband.

Programming Choices


With the advent of Digital Cable, many of the reasons why people chose satellite services, such as wanting expanded programming choices are no longer valid.

Staying with Cable Just Makes Good Sense!
