We're snowbirds and use Direct TV for cable and a Virgin Mobil MiFi device for internet. We're very satisfied with Direct Tv and mostly satisfied with the MiFi service from Virgin Mobil. It's not as fast as cable internet, but probably faster than the lowest cost Comcast or DSL services. The major advantage for both of these services is that you can suspend them when you're not here and there's no charge. Net result is that there's a big savings vs using Comcast (even though they lower the rates when you're not here). We may end up dropping our cable service up north and using Direct TV and the MiFi device at our home up there. (The Virgin Mobil service is $40 per month with no contract and you can buy the MiFi device at Wal Mart for about $150.)
