You're retarded, then Satellite would be the same thing too because it's the exact same just transferred using a different method.

Satellite is not the same thing, different media. Wireless technology is completely different than wired.

As for data caps 250Gb's is a lot of data. I torrent everything all month, netflix on 3 computers, a wii, 2 TV's, plus online video games and have never been capped ever.

And services utilizing phone lines to transfer data ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than those utilizing coax cable...

Yeah, ATT lost a buttload in the failed takeover of T-Mobile(so glad that failed) so they're passing that cost to their customers.

^^ lol. Cable uses a HFC network to distribute over. HFC = hybrid fiber/coax Fiber feeds the nodes from the headend, coax feeds the trunk amps which in turn feeds the amps + feeder cables.

And guess how cabletv gets their programming? Satellite! (mostly)

I may not know everything about car audio, but i know a **** load about cable.

uverse is the same as cable its fiber optics if you can't get regular cable then u can't get fiber optics so it still doesn't apply to what the op said

I've had DirecTV for about 1.5 years and don't mind it. We can't get Time Warner out here so our only cable option is a local company that charges out the arse (not that Time Warner is any better). They do seem to nickel and dime you though, added fees for little things and you also get a price jump after a year (being in a 2 year contract) but when I ran the numbers it still came out cheaper in the long run. Also DirecTV claims to have the most HD channels (via commercials and also according to this article)
