I have always had cable. Cable TV and Internet. In our area, the cable would go out all the time, it was maddening. No TV, No Internet. The 'package' deal for getting both wasn't worth not having either if cable went out.

I bought a home and decided to give DirecTv a try (and a DSL line) ... WOW!, I will never go back to cable. The reception is so much crisper. I haven't had a single outage in 10 month of having it.... and if I did, well, heh, at least I can get on the Internet!! If you do get satellite, make sure you get Tivo or a DVR with it, definitely worth it.
