| Either you will love it or hate it I am a long time Directv subscriber and AT&T DSL and landline subscriber as well. I never was happy with Dish Network. So I just used Directv. Now, with this new agreement in place, I am very happy.
The dish network subscribers will not be pleased about this thats for sure.

1 edit | said by Nightfall:The dish network subscribers will not be pleased about this thats for sure. From the other side: I am a twelve year Dish Network customer who uses Verizon FiOS for Internet (No FiOS TV available in our area for at least the next five years), Verizon wireless for the cellphone, and VoIP for my landline. As I prefer best-of-breed solutions for these services rather than "convenient billing," it is a non-issue for me that AT&T severed their relationship with Dish.
edit: added FiOS TV point |

All AT&T does with Dish is sell a bundle of DSL + phone + TV using satellite. They have their own gateway which provides some basic integration (it's called Home something or other).
I expect them to do something similar with DirecTV. But if you are not a new sub, you will just continue with your current DirecTV subscription.
You could bundle your bills together but why? They don't actually give you much of a price break, if any. And, you have the hassle of not being able to go directly to the provider (Dish or DirecTV) when there's a billing issue. |

If they offer me $5 off my directv bill, why wouldn't I take it? I haven't had a billing issue in 4 years I have been with them. Ah well, I suppose paying a little more for the piece of mind of having one throat to choke is a good thing. |

1 edit | I am getting a $5.00 bundling credit on my at&t/Dish billing.
PLUS, I got one year of free HD (a $240 value). I wont mention the knock down drag out fight I had to go though with at&t to get them to honor their part of the deal. Dish honored their part with no problems. |
