I just previewed a DirecWay internet infomercial. WOW!
If I understand this correctly, I can turn in my DSL 760K, which BTW keeps my phone line clear, and either have a second dish, or 'purchase' the optional DirecTV plugin for the internet dish for both services on one dish, but maintain independence and have two seperate bills for the services. Upon further investigation, I have learned that the possibility of achieving 500k download is only possible during non-peak hours. The upload speed is only rated at 50k. With a fair use limit of 169mb per session. All for a one time insatllation fee of a few pennys short of $600 bones, have the activation fee of $99.99 waived, AND pay $59.99 a month for the first 15 months for lock-in.= A few pennys shy of $1500, Wow! - OR - Waive the $599.99 one time fee, pay the $99.99 activation fee, and pay $99.99 a month for 15 months for the lock in duration. = A few pennys shy of $1600, WOW!

For some un-explained reason, there was an abrupt disconnect when asked why I should drop my 760K DSL that cost me nothing for initial install, and only $25.00 a month for like, forever! That bill mysteriously appears on my phone bill, did not cost me anything upfront except a 12 month agreement, (which has already expired) they sent me the DSL modem, and the hardcopy configuration profile, which is not that hard to set-up, AND did not charge me an activation fee. In addition we experience 150K downloads X 3, and an upload of 120K X 3, and have never been tagged with a fair use limit. Cannot figure out why there was an abrupt telephonic disconnect! WOW!

IMO this could easily fall into one of the greatest rip-offs of the year!
