Never heard of Service Elec., what is it? cable company or internet co.? What about DVR equipments? Unless it rains very very hard, DirecTV should hold up pretty well.
No FiOS in my area so it looks like a straight decision between Service Elec & Verizon. I would like a bundle, assuming its more cost effective, so does anyone have any tips on what set up I should go for? Internet/TV options are the most critical. At the moment I am swaying towards Verizon internet with Direct TV but then its a question of what DVR equipment etc. I live in Allentown, PA so I guess I will need to accept storm outages for TV? I'm really a newbie on this so any advice is appreciated.
