Lisa Does Direct TV have their internet services or do you partner with another company???????? 5/2/2008
Brian satellite internet is the lowest and worst form of broadband you can possibly have. Sure you may download decently sometimes. Ever want to play a game online? FORGET IT. Latency to a satellite in space makes it unplayable. DSL or Cable is the way to go. 4/10/2008
Mike Hi
I was wondering what part of the country do u live in? Im in ILLINOIS and we get alot of snow sometime.. and I noticed that you said that you never lost connection in the whole year you had it? Does it occasionally snow or rain near you like here.. I have Dish Network and when the weather is bad the tv signal goes out and have to watch DVD's.. How is Direct TV's TV service? and the internet could you possibly tell me how fast it is? download / upload??		 2/26/2008
