I am moving, but according to Comcast they can't offer service in my area. Any suggestions on who to go with? Thanks guys!

Thats kind of what I was afraid of. I noticed that everyone around us has satellite. Eek. Confused

I really enjoyed satellite when we were in the sticks, and it cost about the same even with internet included. In 15 months, we had I think two weather-related interruptions.

I would still recommend satellite for anyone who doesn't need internet for gaming. The service was better, the menu layouts are cleaner and more intuitive, and well, it's not Comcast.

I always thought satellite internet access was considerably slower than cable at a higher price?

\I've been mulling over getting satellite for a while now, but what keeps holding me back is my lack of Internet access choices.

It runs just about as fast as a decent DSL connection. For gaming though, the latency kinds ruins it.

But for browsing and downloading I really didn't notice much of a difference.

Comcast is it. They do offer great specials with all services. I had the triple play and when it expired I pay 127.00 for all three. I thought the bill would sky rocket but it increased 15.00.

I really don't need that land line but for under 40.00 it is cheaper calling long distance and ot getting charged or using too many of my cell phones minutes.

Use to do satilite and won't go back...don't know if cause we live in the mtns but windy,rainy,snow...no signal!

Yeah, satellite will obviously be affected more in certain areas. The irony is that the area's least suited (due to weather or other reasons) for satellite are the area's that don't have other alternatives.
