prolly 1/3 to double the cost, more equipment to have, performance not up to cable...only good thing is if you have generator power itll work, cable wont if the cable provider is down.

Broadband National has some of the best deals on high speed Internet. Right now they are offering Comcast for only $19.99 a month for the first 6 months. At the time of this review the offer also includes: $100.00 Cash Back* FREE Cable Modem* FREE Wireless Router* I've known people who have signed up for Comcast Internet through Broadband National, customer service is great. Unlike other companies I have dealt with if you have a problem with your service Comcast will send someone out to fix it.

you should stay with cable. sattelit internet is expensive and as far as watching tv good luck. the picture comes and goes repeatedly, and there is no local broadcasting. oh and good luck trying to get someone out if you have problems. the price of cable is better 10 to 1. you get what you pay for.
