Default Ditching cable! Direct Tv or Dish Network?
Getting ready to drop suddenthief cable.

Just got some quotes from dish and direct tv on premium packages and wifi. Any comments or suggestions from the people that ventured over to the satellite side?

Direct tv is the way to go. I've had service with them for 5 years and never had a problem with their customer service and the weather has to be pretty bad to lose signal.

I currently have DirecTV and I have a friend that got Dish so I have a little exposure to it... I didn't see anything with Dish that would make me want to switch.

I have DSL internet through the Phone Company because I've heard the satellite internet is not as reliable and quite a bit more costly.

If I had a choice of using Cable I would probably switch to Cable over satellite... mainly for the bundling.

Most bang for your buck is Dish. I have had mine for 7 years...no complaints. My biggest complaint is losing signal during the Alabama LSU title game due to weather.

My only wish for cable providers is this.

Charge me a flat rate $50 just for basic service with everything included I get to pick up to 20 channels of whatever I want to watch. $2 a month for each additional channel. I ahte flipping on the TV with a claimed 235 channels or what ever and 190 of them or preview channels or shopping channels.

Marsh.....this is not true. We have Cameron internet and TV with the DVD recorder package and pay $ 129 per month. No phone with Cameron.

The fiber optics cable and service has been very good.

It's because you're on the fiber cable. If you would be using DSL then you would need a phone line because the DSL actually utilizes a phone line to bring the service.
