If you are currently a cable TV customer, maybe you have been looking to switch over to a satellite TV provider like Direct TV. Maybe you have hesitated though, thinking that satellite service is unreliable, or that the discounts available don’t stack up with your cable bundle. The other option in many neighborhoods is a new fiber optic service called Verizon Fios.  Are you making the right choice by selecting a Direct TV package or Verizon Fios instead of staying with cable TV?

You might be surprised to find out that Direct TV and Verizon Fios offer just as much programming as cable.  A bas e package like the Choice package will give you 150 plus channels right off the bat. This bundle is priced in line with a basic cable package that you might order from Time Warner or Brighthouse. You will find over 100 video channels, and around 50 audio channels here and the regular price is around $55 per month.

Fios sells their TV Essentials bundle for about $50 each month. Naturally they want you to order other services too. High speed internet and home phone are also available with Fios, so you can get a triple play bundle.

Now if you have an all inclusive bundle with your cable television company, you know how costly that can be. Generally, the standard pricing on these packages with Comcast or Time Warner usually run about 0 per month. Direct TV offers a package called the Premier bundle which has everything for around 0 a month including high definition. You do have to pay extra for HD, but you are still looking at a nice savings over cable TV.

Whatever your programming requirements are, evaluating satellite TV bundles is a smart thing to do in today’s economy, especially when cable TV prices keep on increasing. Reviewing other options like Verizon Fios and comparing them with the latest DIRECTV offer is a good idea.
