We use Comcast for internet. It's pricey, though--$75/month. (Started out at $60.) But dsl is too slow for us. We are awaiting delivery of Comcast's new modem that is supposed to speed things up. For now, our AT&T Hot Spot is many times faster than our Comcast cable, but we think we use more than 5 gigs of data per month, at $50 for five gigs.

We are experimenting with that, though. The hot spot is available at Best Buy for $100, and you can either have a two-year contract or a "pay as you run out" plan that you top up yourself online.

We love DirecTV, never have a billing problem, and their customer service is great. You can move it with you from one place to another, as opposed to having two contracts. And it rarely goes out for more than a few minutes in a storm. We like NFL Ticket and Extra Innings for watching Steelers and Pirates.
