I have had Dish network before and was very displeased with their service.  Although they make some very interesting offers, they feel that since they are a corporation, they do not have to honor what they advertise.  I switched to Direct after a very nasty dispute with Dish over their pathetic service and a letter directly to their CEO in Colorado.  So you may take it for what it is worth, I would not use Qworst and their services have underlying and hidden charges that you will not be made aware of until you actually point them out from your statements and they will be very reluctant to tell you what these charges are.  Dish makes offers, but when you get your bill the special offers just never seem to get credited to your account and they love to play that good old corporate game of I am exempt because I am a corporation.  Direct has been the only one that has at least been up front and honest with their service so far and I hope they stay that way.

<br>I've been on $4.95/month dial-up and Cable America TV cable for years, but<br>lately I've been seeing some aggressive &quot;bundled&quot; services promotions that<br>are tempting (but confusing).<br><br>So, the first part of my question is partially &quot;On Topic&quot; as it pertains to
<br>DSL service.<br><br>As as I read the latest Qwest &quot;bundled&quot; services promotion, it appears that<br>the $82.96/month for home telephone -plus- 1.5M DSL -plus- 155-channel<br>DirecTV translates to $36/month for home telephone -plus- $17/month for 
1.5M<br>DSL -plus- $30/month for DirecTV (all prices set for the first 15 months).<br><br>Am I missing something?<br><br>Are there better options to consider?<br><br>Now to the off-topic part:<br><br>I also have a promotional coupon for Dish Network for $19.99 per month for 70
<br>channels (price set for the first 10 months), including two free DVRs and up<br>to 4 TVs.<br><br>Does anybody have any experience with DirecTV -vs- Dish Network?<br><br>Which is better?<br><br>Are there some other, better options?
