I've had both Dish and DirecTV and prefer either to cable. However, I want broadband and bundled discounts offered by cable made me get rid of the dish.

If DirecTV and/or Dish can offer a WiMax solution with a bundled TV/VOD/DVR/broadband package, I'd love to have a competitive option.

Of course it's not enough to offer 1Mbps. I'd expect several Mbps service, reasonable price, no port blocking or GB/month caps etc, etc, etc.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15788309 Wed, 29 Mar 2006 21:00:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15786368 poolek : It's not satellite - it's terestrial wireless/wimax. Latency won't be an issue.

I'd be interested in it. I currently use DirecTV and prefer it to the cable offerings in my area. If they offered a decent competitor price, speed and stability wise to the cable or DSL offerings I can get, I would certainly consider switching.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15786368 Wed, 29 Mar 2006 16:17:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15786202 Cjaiceman : ... but I'm still going to stick with Qwest DSL for now. I highly doubt that they will offer 7Mbps for $35/month... Plus the latency will be an issue as I am a gamer.... But, for those out in the sticks that can't get anything other than satellite this is a good option if they do it right!

They are also going to have a hard time convincing people with cable that are getting 10+mbps to switch to a lower service for about the same price (if they price it ~$40-$60/month).

Personally I think they should target areas that don't have any broadband options (other than satellite). ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15786202 Wed, 29 Mar 2006 15:52:30 EDT
