I ended up leaving satellite for television a while back, only because we were kind of being "forced" to go to Uverse for internet access.  I got a notice from AT&T that they were going to change my service from DSL to Uverse, so I looked into their offering.  What I did like was the fact that I can get the Red Zone for football without having to get Sunday Ticket.  I made the switch and have never looked back.  I get good internet speed for what I need, television streaming (including Amazon Prime, Youtube, etc.) has never been a problem, and I can't say that I've ever had any kind of outage or interruption regardless of the weather.

 

My only complaint is the idiots that they had come out to do the installation.  I wasn't home at the time, but my wife was (who knows nothing about computer networking).  They put a wireless access point right next to the wireless router.  In other words, the WAP was doing nothing for me.  After I reconfigured their boneheaded installation, I've been happy.
