Our lines are buried. It's not going to get better until they replace the lines to every home. An ant bed can cause problems. It's nothing I didn't expect, but they aren't going to fix it either. It's cost prohibitive.

I've had all the other local services but dish. I did like DTV until they destroyed my equipment. They ruined a perfectly good smart card, and I had to fix it.
