Now have fiber optic
They are running it to our house for free. We’ve had satellite for tv and internet for decades. There are so many options for both I have no idea what’s best or cheapest. What are your thoughts?

It was so nice to send the stuff back to Dish a few months ago. A couple months later we received a $4 refund check.


Yesterday I saw a Dish truck driving down our road and I caught myself wondering, who in their right mind is having them install Dish?

I live on an island. Our island was built in the 50's. For whatever reason, we have had 2 choices for fiber broadband since the early 2000's. We use to have ATT's fiber but it just got to expensive. Went with Frontier broadband. Pay $65 for a gig of broadband.

You get a fiber jack to connect your router/switch for Ethernet and Wifi.


We have had Google fiber for years, 5 stars.

When we first moved into our latest home a couple of years ago, we didn’t have much to choose from. DSL from AT&T or cable internet through Mediacom. We went with cable and it was god awful. My wife works from home and I think she was considering violence at times due to the frequent drop outs. We got fiber roughly a year ago and it’s been wonderful. We had some dropouts while they finished the loop, but 1GB has easily met our needs and we are running all devices on it with the help of an Orbi mesh network. AT&T ran another loop into the neighborhood last summer, so it’s nice to have two options if the other company pisses me off. The worst problem I had was getting it into the house since we have a basement media room. The installer solution was to run it up the facade and through the soffit. I ran him off and hired someone to bury it and drill through the basement wall, so that’s set now too. This should last me the remainder of my time in this house, unless there’s a quantum leap in tech that I don’t see coming from our AI overlords.

DirecTV sent me a debit card with $6.73 on it. I guess I can buy a coffee or something with it.

Yep. Fiber is the only way to go. I don't recommend going with an online cable service though. Otherwise, between the cable bill and the price of the service, you're spending as as before. An antenna and a DVR can take care of all of your locals, plus a bunch of extras that you may enjoy like Metv, Western channel, etc. Standalone offerings of Max, Amazon, et al are available as well. Only problem is watching MNF on ESPN. They aren't stand alone. I usually sign up for a month of Sling for the Chiefs MNF. Hopefully, ESPN goes standalone soon so that I can avoid that.

Our small town phone cooperative laid underground fiber to every home 15 years ago. I have razed our city friends about paying more than us for their slow crappy internet.

We use an antenna with a Tablo box. Free trials got us all the Chiefs cable games except Miami. Fortunately our dogsitter had left her Peacock account active on TV.

Yeah, it was definitely a nice feeling sending DTV all their crap back. Too bad they didn't take the dish. The goddamn thing is still attached to the garage. One of these days I'll pay somebody to remove it. Won't be me doing it. After my knee injury, I've got a thing about ladders.

Oddly, AT&T was amazingly cool about me dumping them. It was fairly easy to return the equipment, and they only wanted a few items. The rest went in the trash. I was expecting a **** You For Leaving Us charge, which I've got in the past from companies like Verizon and Sprint, but I actually received a gift card with a couple of hundred bucks on it. I went in expecting them to try to screw me multiple ways, but it didn't happen. It is pretty funny that the best experience I ever had with AT&T was canceling their service.
