We are about to change from Direct to Century link for TV. TV package will add $69 to our existing phone and internet plan. (no premium channels because we never watched them) No contract if I don't take the $20 a month discount, or 1 year if I do. But...if I cancel the TV before the year is up,I only have to pay the discount I was given (IE: $20 a month for however many months.) ALSO..I have 30 days to cancel the service and owe nothing if I don't like it.
I want the 4 recording, pausable whole house TV. Getting it through Direct was going to up our monthly and had a sizable installation/equipment upgrade fee. We are only hooking up 2 TVs because that is all we have, but was told that the 3rd TV would only be $6.99 a month extra.
I will be keeping the Direct TV for the first few weeks, to see if I like the Prism, and cancel Prism if not and reconnect the Direct TV to the TV my self. We use Netflix instant download through our Blue Ray, and may consider Hulu, for other stuff. Need to check out Hulu further to see if it is worth it. This change will decrease out monthly total by about $40 a month.
We have the 3.0 internet service and it works fine. I do serious downloading of scrapbook kits, podcast streaming and webinars all the time and never have an issue with syncing, or speed. No lag time or jerkiness. We will now have the phone, which I could do without, internet and TV with Century link.
