I had DirecTV for 7 years and all and all their service was good. Sometimes fantastic.
The only thing that bothers me about them is they only offer deals to new customers. You'd think after 7 years they would have seen me as a valued customer and offer me one of their going deals when I wanted to upgrade to HD.
Nope.
Once I switched to Verizon FIOS, DirecTV called me 3 times a week to "get me back" offering sweet deals.
To little to late.
But since you're a new customer you could get a good deal.
BTW they do have the Speed channel.
