Cable/internet providers around downtown SLC (apartment, house, buying)

I know that Comcast and Qwest are the big players out there, but I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on Directv? If you're using a package right now from any company what are you paying per month? If you're paying for seperate services has it worked out for you? I've also been checking out Verizon.

Dish is much better then direct. Unless you want the nfl sunday ticket which is a WASTE then dish will be cheaper. They pay 700 million dollars PER YEAR to have the nfl ticket therefore EVERYONE with direct is buying it, wether you actually have the programing or not. Not to mention dish has much more strict quality guidlines which means you will have a better install which means less issues in the end. We wont even get into comparing the technologies of the too. Comcast isnt even a contender with those 2 in the tv department. I go quest/dish personall. Comcast is way overprices for what you get

Also verizon doesnt do regular phone, tv or internet here. The most you could do is cell phone and the wireless internet cards with them which IMO is to expensive

Comcast's digital phone is much more reliable in older areas than Qwest's landlines. I hate DirecTV, Qwest scammed me on prices and then DirecTV tried to not let me out of the termination fees. I saw on Ch. 2 that "Get Gebhart" helped another woman w/the same problem, so I guess that's why I haven't heard from them lately. I had also opened a complaint with the Dept of Consumer Protection. My advice, avoid DirecTV like the plague. The one time while I still had their service, it snowed lightly and the TV went out all night.

I hate both Qwest/Direct TV and Comcast. The Qwest so called package is a sham. Now, mind you I can't get DTV, because I don't have the clear line of sight to a satelite. Therefore, I've had to go with Comcast internet, at a huge price, but it is my only choice. Don't like the Dsl, had it, but got rid of my landline, and although they do have a competively priced dsl only option.

Have you investigated the Cricket wireless mobile broadband, I thinks it's only 40 a month, but speeds may be lower than dsl. It is worth checking out, especially if you take a laptop around town.
