AFAIK the only Internet access DirecTV still offers is DirectWay. This is
their Internet over satellite service. It is expensive, and last time I checked
was only available for windoze. IMO it is only useful if there are no other
alternatives.
FWIW, I am a DirecTV DSL refugee. I went with Speakeasy. For $60.00/mo
you can get 1500/128 with 1 static IP. Their TOS allow you to run servers also.
IIRC They have a package priced at ~50.00/mo but I think it is a dynamic
IP and uses pppoe. :-(
Service and customer support have been excellent.
