OT (Partially Off Topic) Qwest DSL and DirecTV -vs- Dish Network

[Josef Lowder]

I've been on $4.95/month dial-up and Cable America TV cable for years, but 
lately I've been seeing some aggressive "bundled" services promotions that 
are tempting (but confusing). 

So, the first part of my question is partially "On Topic" as it pertains to 
DSL service. 

As as I read the latest Qwest "bundled" services promotion, it appears that 
the $82.96/month for home telephone -plus- 1.5M DSL -plus- 155-channel 
DirecTV translates to $36/month for home telephone -plus- $17/month for 1.5M 
DSL -plus- $30/month for DirecTV (all prices set for the first 15 months). 

Am I missing something? 

Are there better options to consider? 

Now to the off-topic part: 

I also have a promotional coupon for Dish Network for $19.99 per month for 70 
channels (price set for the first 10 months), including two free DVRs and up 
to 4 TVs. 

Does anybody have any experience with DirecTV -vs- Dish Network? 

Which is better? 

Are there some other, better options?
