Cable/Sat and Internet

[KA-T_240]

I am moving into a house soon. We are trying to figure out what to get for Internet and Cable.

Just looking for what people are paying and what they are getting for that price. It will be in Moorhead, if that matters.

The satellite channels are nearly identical to the cable channels. I have DTV for tv service and cableone for internet. used to have cableone for both, but DTV was a better price and had more HD channels. Tried Qwest, and you couldn't pay me enough to even consider it again....horrible speeds and noone at tech support spoke english to save their lives.

i use i-29 for the internet , its alright for what you pay for it but downloading videos sucks, its sucks that cable one is a little to expensive cause i would use them again.

we have DTV and DSL..... but a buddy down here has DTV with Directway or whatever.... the highspeed through the satellite

I was impressed with his connection quality, but i dont have any idea what that costs

anybody know??

We have cableone internet and I wouldn't change it for anything. It's kind of spendy we pay around $50-$55 with renting the wireless modem. We tried quest 5 years ago and it was the worst service ever.

We have dish network for satellite which is included in our rent DVR FTW.

I have CableOne internet 4mb package $50 a month and dish network for tv at $75. Dish you will be able to get for the first ten months for a bout $45 a month with promotions. Then $60 a month for four more months. Only need a year and a half contract. That is for the second to top package. Nothing beats cableone internet in town, so that is a no brainer. Split with roommates price shouldnt be bad.

satelitte internet is terrible. they give you a daily limit on how much you can use, the latency is terrible, it should be considered only as a last option.

Yes, we have dish network for tv, used to have Dtv for about 8 years but the dish is way better priced and better plans. Also we have Direcway satellite internet. It is the most horrible thing on the planet, dont ever get it. Aside from the huge initial cost, it is still expensive. Also it is very very slow and gets worse in inclement weather. It is around 56k on a good day, worse the rest of the time.

We have I29 not a huge cost but its slow, when it works I can play on XBL but sometimes its so bad I can't even get into my photobucket account.
