Default Cable/Phone/Internet

I presently have Direct TV for cable TV and Comcast for phone and internet. I wanted a bundled package for all three with Direct TV but they told me there isn't service for phone and internet in my area. I was bundled with Comcast but they raised the rates considerably so I dropped cable with them.

I recall someone saying they had all three services with DTV. I spoke to an agent and she told me they only provide cable. Does anyone out there have a bundled service with DTV?

Century link has a bundle with all three. I had it but the price was to high. I now have Comcast internet, and basicTV, and Vontage for phone. Internet and basic is cheaper than internet alone. On my main tv I have Dish, but I will be getting Direct when my 2 year contract runs out. 3 different bills.

Check with your local phone providers to see if they offer bundling with DirecTV. It was at the suggestion of a DirecTV tech support person I spoke with a week or so ago that I do that - he said it'll save a little bit of money each month but not a ton.

My concern, though, is that if I get the phone company involved with my existing DirecTV satellite service, I might wind up with a finger-pointing exercise when it comes time to resolve any issue with billing, service, etc. With my service now being single-threaded through DirecTV, there's no decision to make about who it is that should resolve any DirecTV issue I might have.

CenturyLink "bundles" with DTV. All it saves you is $5 off your DTV bill. They are still more expensive than Comcast.
