America's Top 120 (~120 Channels+Locals) $42.99 per month
America's Top 180 (~180 Channels+Locals)$52.99 per month
America's "Everything" Pak (Everything) $86.99 per month

really? Comcast in my area, for a package with all the channels including premiums is about $5-$6 a month cheaper than a comparable package with DirecTv plus I get Video on Demand. Satellite is really only cheaper on the lower tier "hook" packages. |
