Down the door is partially right. The pole is included but only trenching and cabling up to 6ft from the house (where ever they have to connect into the home). After that it is whatever the going rate is for RG6.

What is going on at Dish? I saw that in the indirect sales area (ie not sold directly by dish) they are back in Costco. Directv must have not performed as well as they would have liked.

It was the same thing with me. I was a D* contractor (not anymore) but I still get the benefits. The one thing I really like is the fact that the Bose audio that they carry is also discounted 25%. Typically Bose is never ever discounted (that includes Amazon).

Big Dawg, I had the same thing on my additional line and they finally figured it out. But I still don't mind getting at 25% on accessories like Bose audio when no body (and I mean no body, ie Amazon) discount Bose. I got head phones at a good discount.

I found that out too. But for hardware I think that is to be expected. On accessories since I want a Bose sound dock it is a good deal since I hate paying full retail.

I haven't heard that since Apple would ask for quite a lot and larger carriers means more dollars but I wouldn't doubt it long term. I doubt the dualopy of ATT/Verizon will last for than 2-3 years at most.

I wanted to make the Satelliteguys nation aware of something to help them save money on wireless accessories. I have a discount through my company where Verizon Wireless gives me 25% discounts on ALL accessories. The reason that this is significant is I was looking at a Bose sound dock for my...

JD is correct. I was a contractor for D* and it was every year a $2-3 increase. I agree prices are getting out of hand but D* is a for profit business and every channel they carry also has an associated cost. It is a tough situation for all.

Scott I agree. I will probably get the Motorola Bionic or HTC Thunderbolt since I want an LTE compatible phone. I doubt Iphone 5 will support LTE so customers who want an Iphone will have to wait until 2012.

I had a feeling about that Mike. I would doubt the Iphone 5 will alleviate the issue to be honest. O well. I will wait for an Iphone or probably stick with the Droid platform.

Don, I agree. With Android you get more flexibility for handsets especially since I am want an LTE compatible phone (both the Bionic and Thunderbolt are coming out relatively soon).

I agree it would not be in character for Apple to do. But I know there will be customers who want to wait and see what the Iphone 5 brings before jumping to Verizon (I have Verizon but I want to hedge my bet just in case).

As I understand it Dodgerking it is a faster version of HSPA but the phone would need to have a HSPA+ radio (hardware antenna) to work with that network.

Same issue. The phone would have to be capable of that technology via hardware not software. I think AT&T will wait until both networks are LTE capable (for AT&T it will be 18 month or longer, Verizon much sooner).

I agree with you Rockymtnhigh. I will get either the Bionic or Thunderbolt.
