DIRECTV Satellite Internet review
We got DirecTV because of all the good promotions and how it would be cheaper for us than the cable that was in our area. More channels, less price and that it was. The problem we had with it was that every time it rained or snowed, we weren't able to watch satellite due to the connection. We got a cover that helped but it was still a huge hassle. We ended up switching back after our year contract was up.
