Default Re:For those with Direct TV

Cable is taking a beating on all fronts.

- Customer service

- capacity - FiOS (Verizon) and U-Verse (AT&T's FTTN tech) are outrunning it. Eventually the telcos will all just lay fiber to the premises.

- HD offerings.

It makes offering a 'triple-play' a bitch. DirecTV has their HD lineup, but no data worth mentioning. I don't care what the bandwidth is, the latency kills it. Cable has shitty HD, but decent data.

The only realistic triple-play right now is FiOS.
