Well I get $20 off through my employeer with a discount coupon, plus I have the refer a friend deal ($10 off my bill and his for 10 months) so its $3.98 a month right now haha. I can set you up with the refer a friend credit too (shameless plug) so you'll get $10 off a month for 10 months.

I get a shit ton more channels than I ever had with Comcast. SPEED, DIY, BBC, Bravo, AMC, FX, etc all channels that I didn't have in my Comcast which was um $155 a month with internets (rapeage). Plus directv is the only source with full 1080p (Comcast is only 720p or 1080i which is the same as 720p) right now, plus it has over 12 3d channels included in the package for free, no other source has any really save for on demand stuff. So if you have a 3d tv it's a no brainer.

Just so you know, the only stuff in 1080p is OnDemand or PPV stuff. No broadcast channels are 1080p.

^yes, I am aware. I guess my point was no other tv source has any 1080p offerings.

FUuuuu...I went against my own personal rule. The rule being, "you get what you pay for". Rather I went for the "best deal" I could find at the time. Shame on me.

You can still get DirecTV and get $10 off for a year for you and for any customer who refers you, which is the same deal I think I could have gotten you while I was working there.

When you order brown rice, but get white.

When white rice tastes sooo good, but is sooo bad.
