Re: Moving In July 09
While I am no expert about TV over IP, by any means, I would hope it is seperate. But, I don't know if it is, or not. I only know what they have said to me on the phone. And that is, the "signal" comes in through the phone line to the modem. From there, a line from the modem goes to my router for their blazingly fast 3 meg service, and 3 other lines will go to the TV's.
I was thinking of doing the above, purely to save some money each month. As I am currently paying $101.xx for phone, long distance, and internet (5 meg), plus $140.xx for DirectTV (premium package). The phone company in Missouri, where we are moving, will be charging $151.xx for their services.
I will look at their services before deciding which way to go on the TV part.
Here is a URL that explains what they are doing to provide both DSL and TV to their customers. Maybe you all can understand it better than I do.

I know Centurytel has some properties out there. Maybe you should double check with them? |

Can you say "DBS or cable company" ? I knew you could...
The DSL itself will be decent, but I sure wouldn't want to try to watch HDTV programming over it... |

| By the end of July, we will be residing in Missouri.
The local phone company, The Ozark Phone Co., also has the only DSL service there. They have the following 2 speeds ONLY. Your choice of 2 megs, or for a "paltry" $30.00 more a month, 3 megs!!
Also their TV service is TV over IP, as it comes into your modem for DSL, and goes from there to your TV's (a maximum of 3 is allowed).
So, with this in mind, ya might think about all the complaining of speeds, etc. Because, as you can see, it can be worse!
Check it out, They are called s-go-video in the town we are moving to. |
