In Vermont Direct Satellite TV "bundled" us with Fairpoint Telephone Company and we've had no problems........the internet service is quick and we also have wireless......everything is very fast. We have Windows 7 operating system on our HP computers so it's all the latest......took a little getting used to after XP. Our only problem with Direct Satellite TV is everytime there is a thunderstorm passing through, we lose our "signal". Does this happen in Florida as well with the daily storms during the summer??? We've been wondering what will happen in Vermont when we get our snow storms and blizzards? No satellite signal?
