Wildblue is the internet he offers is $39/month but will also discount directv $10/month. $29 for basic, up to $54 for premium.

EVERYTHING offered: movies, hdr, nfl sunday ticket, nascar hot pass $74.99 month.

The internet slower than dsl but faster than phone hook up, don't have the exact number on me.

Oh, okay. I'm not even sure that's accurate as there are more retailers selling it now.

you don't get nascar hotpass with the sunday ticket promo.

It's basically 74.95 x 4 = Normal price of Sunday ticket. Then they give you 4 months free of their premier package. You also have to pay 9.99 for HD Access and around 5 dollars for taxes. So if you want the DirecTV deal it comes out to be around $90.93/month.

It has also become really easy to get Superfan added on for free which used to be 100 dollars. It gives you the best football channel ever made (Redzone HD) and gives you most of the Sunday games in HD. They're even advertising it as "order now get it free" since there's probably only 2.5-3 months of Sunday ticket left.

I'd probably pick up DirecTV and get someone's account number so you can get 10/month off for 5 months as well as the person referring you. Roadrunner or Naked Embarq for internet. Stay away from bundled packages, they're typically never worth it and especially stay away from satellite internet.

It's not as good as dsl but if someone wants to buy those services from one company they can.

I pay $121

90.93 (DirecTV) + 29.99 (Suddenlink) for Sunday Ticket/Premier and 8 mbit internet

^^There is absolutely no reason for someone to sacrifice reliability/stability/speed for the convenience of paying one bill instead of two.

We bought a wireless data card from alltel and it's great. Can't get cable and satellite internet is worthless so we went with that. Speeds are good and you can take the damn thing pretty much anywhere.
