In my area, there are basically three ways to get internet and TV for your home. There's AT&T U-verse, DirecTV, and Comcast Xfinity cable. Which is best? Depends what you're looking for.
AT&T U-verse offers fiber optic delivery of your TV and internet. It's fast! You can DVR four shows at once, and get internet download speeds up to 24 Mbps. (You need 8 Mbps to watch Apple TV Netflix movies, so I'm told.) One blogger had some ATT uverse problems in getting set up, both those were fixed. He's happy.
DirecTV has great TV packages, including NFL Sunday Ticket that allows you to watch any NFL football game in the country. As for DirecTV internet speeds? Um.. it's basically DSL. DirecTV does let you watch TV on your computer. But who cares? That doesn't help anyone get online.
Comcast Xfinity offers TV and internet. But if you get your internet service through cable, you're sharing download bandwidth with your neighbors. If all of you are just browsing the web, it's not big deal. But if someone is streaming videos and hogging the line, there's less bandwidth for everyone else.
Fiber optic is fast. Some people just want TV shows. You make the call.
