Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

I'm in California and I have direct TV, and the only internet options they have here are a joint deal with AT&T which means slow DSL Internet, and not unlimited either. The only company I know of that still offers unlimited plans is Verizon if it is available in your area, and who knows how long that will last. My internet is Charter cable, and they put limits on their home services, but not their business services, so you can get unlimited for them but it cost twice as much.

I have the DirectTv internet via AT&T and it is really slow...cheap though. Much cheaper than Charter which is the biggest ripoff ever.

clear.com . A wireless service if it is in your area. Hook up to 8? computers on it at one time(acts like a router).

Verizon wireless is another.
I think all of the wireless companies have them now. Find the one that works in your area.

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

The main reason I suggest Verizon if it is available, is because Charter/Comcast is one of the most available high speed internet choices right now, I think their Internet offerings are like 15mb down/3 up, 30/5, and 100/10 or something in that area.

Verizons packages are something around 15/15, 35/35, etc... The upload speed is as much, or almost as much as the download speeds, which is not a big deal for a lot of people because you download a whole lot more than you upload. But I a have a few small websites hosted with another company because I can not support the upload speed if I get more then a few people viewing a page at a time.
With Verizon I could most likely host my small sites at home. So when they get that option here, I will sign up in a heart beat.

Currently Verizon is still no limitations on bandwidth too, while charter < illegally?> altered my contract to include bandwidth limits.

just a thought? Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

The Internet that Dish, and Directv offer, Is called WILD BLUE.. I have had this through Dish for over 3 years.. My contract ran out long ago, So I keep on paying $50.22 a month for it, I think it is pretty much unlimited cause the bill never changes.. This is the only option where I live, I aint going back to dial up..

Verizon MiFi, it's your own personal hot spot for up to 5 computers. Runs on it's battery or plug in, fits in the palm of your hand. $40 a moth for 5 Gigs.

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

I had cable tv turned off last year, it was one of my do not need items. Still have Internet and netflixs. I know this has nothing to do with Direct TV, but I found out I still get some TV channels without the high cost.

In many cases all you need is good internet, a lot of shows are online as well as TV, and there are not exactly legal sites to download most of the other shows you want to watch.

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

There's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth anymore. If they say that's what you get they are lying...and it all runs through At&t servers regardless of the provider.
I'm being held hostage by Sprint Mifi, which is $55 a month for 768 bps service. It averages about 300 bps on a good day, and dialup speeds for the upload.

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

All the big companies are just rakeing in the bucks and not putting it back in to improve equippment. AT&T just announced that there is a limit to there unlimited service??? Look at Apple, They have overcharged so much that there reserve fund in billions is equal to the 5th largest country in the world. The problem with the world today is that the money is all at the top. You have people like Gates and the queen of England hoarding it. Some have huge amount stached in tax free foundations that they controll. It's provides them with cars, luxary yachts, ets, and we make up the difference created by the tax free statis.

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

Now, Now. We all know there is an infinite supply of money, Plenty to go around matter of fact!
Who would have thought that we could approach 16 trillion in national debt. That is free money right there, and proves that money is infinite! ::)

So we can't begrudge a few people saving for a rainy day! I myself am guilty of not spending every penny I find.( Some people want nothing to do with my beach pennies anyway).

If I had alot of cash I would hoard it, I feel a Weimar Republic type situation could happen considering the currency plates are wearing out.

If it didn't though I could use it as a blanket (<---see that there? A nod to the moderators that thought I might say something with NEKKED in it lolololol)

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

We are in a "circle" of coverage that doesn't allow anyone to give us local channels (per the FCC), except our local cable, so Dish and DirectTV are out
for us. (I don't care what the weather or the roads are like in Denver).

Hope you have it better where you are. We originally had Direct TV, but, changed to Dish about 16 years ago, and had them until just about 2 years ago when the FCC took away our local channels. We had more stations on Dish, and they ran "freebies" every month (a free HBO weekend, or a free Starz weekend, stuff like that).

Re: What doe's DirectTV unlimited internet service cost

roadquest: I'm pretty sure the price differs by reagon and competion. Here in my part of Ok. they hook up with A T & T. Mine is around $25.00 before the algore fees, with the slowest of internet speeds. They had two or three faster speeds, but, hell, I type slow and read slower.
