Direct TV: TV plus DSL?





DSL can be considered an extension of phone service. Cable internet can be considered an extension of cable TV service. Direct TV DSL was at one point an extension of the DirecTV-style mini-dish satellite TV service. But it struggled to find and audience and DirecTV pulled the plug. Since then, a number of satellite internet providers have sprung up, but apparently none of them offer a TV plus DSL service. If you are interested in such a package of TV plus high speed internet, keep an eye on the internet, and write your nearest cable company, asking if they can extend service to your area. Watch tv shows online  or full length movies as an alternative to DSL channels.

Disadvantages of Direct TV DSL

More about Direct TV DSL: Though cutting edge and effective worldwide, Direct-TV DSL has many downsides. Most prohibitive of all is the cost. A dish and specialized modem must be purchased for use. This costs upwards of 500 dollars. Additionally, service fees tend to be higher than cable and DSL. Unlike wire-based systems, Direct TV DSL packages generally do not offer a fixed IP address, meaning that it is very difficult to run your own webpage over a satellite connection. Partial service outages or slowdowns can also be caused by bad weather or something blocking the dish.

Advantages of Direct TV DSL

There are many unique advantages to Direct TV DSL. Unlike regular DSL, or even cable, Direct TV DSL is available anywhere worldwide. Even ships at sea can receive broadband internet access by using it. Since the connection from source to user contains no wires, damage to phone lines does not affect service. Also, due to the relatively low numbers of users, it is essentially immune to signal slowdown due to overuse. It is also incredibly cool to show off to friends visiting your home.

 Obtaining Direct TV DSL

Direct TV DSL is available all over the world. However, it can be hard to find a provider. Unlike DSL, which is backed largely by phone companies, and cable internet, which is backed by cable internet services, Direct-TV DSL is largely provided by independent companies. A local phone directory will most likely not mention any providers. Try internet searches for best results, or asking a friend who has experience with the service.

Direct TV DSL

About Direct TV DSL: Direct TV DSL is very unlike conventional DSL. However, it is very much like direct TV. With Direct TV DSL, Internet connectivity is provided by a satellite, which broadcasts to a small dish, much like satellite TV companies use. Though sometimes called Direct-TV DSL, this service is almost entirely unlike DSL. The only real similarities are that different users link directly to a singular central point.

 Choosing Direct TV DSL

The question of whether or not to choose broadband DSL television is an important one. After all, the service costs many times what comparable-speed connections do. However, it offers a level of reliability well above that of other services. Whether it's the right choice for you might have more to do with whether or not you have access to other services than anything else. If other broadband options are not there, Direct TV DSL fills the gap nicely.
