Since I have home phone service with Qwest, I opted last year to go with them for DSL service, $25 a month. No increases and it is on my monthly phone bill. I love the service.
Prior I had Sprint wireless broadband and it had acted up several times. Had this big huge attena off my house thanks to my ex, now we stopped this service.
We have had Dish for a long time now, we just have the basic channels and local channels and I pay $62 a month. I haven't had any major increases in 8 years.
So for both of my services I pay $110 a month or close to that.
I have done the research as well, Comcast isn't even a consideration, even with their promotions they will go back up and be WAY more combined then I am paying now.
Dish is the same as Direct TV give or take and since I already have the service and the DVR (got free by the way) then I see no point in changing.
I have never had an issue with Qwest and had great customer service. The more services you use through them the savings can be better, but even if I went to Direct TV there was only a $4 difference so I just stuck with DSL/Phone with Qwest and Dish for my satellite provider.
I use DSL and a wireless router. I have read about stuff like this too and the emission of frequency from a wireless router is EXTREMELY low. You would have to rid yourself of your microwave, cordless/wireless phones and even a baby monitor in your home to truly rid yourself of these emissions in your home. Do you use a cellphone, that would too have to go.
WLAN in mass quantities like in large companies, even in some school systems have been brought to the table as a cause for concern, ongoing and larger scale exposures. New technology is scary as we sometimes don't get the full picture of what the downsides are or dangers until years of study. I agree with that completely and I do research on this stuff as well. Right now there is no scientific data to back up claims that WIFIs used in homes are any more dangerous then that baby monitor or microwave.
They found minimal cellphone use daily isn't harmful in adults, ongoing exposure not so good and children shouldn't be on cellphones ongoing either due to their developing brain.
Let me know if you find any other reports about this stuff, I am interested as well.
