I've had Direct Tv since 1999..No problems..great HD ..Great DVR
As far as verizon wireless broadband .I have one and hate it.It's slooooooooow and you can't do much with 5 gig of data a month.All you can do is read your emails and go on sights like this.Forget Skyping or watching any videos from sights.Wish there were a reasonable alternative ...
