I’m currently in the middle of purchasing a new townhouse. Comcast doesn’t provide any advanced services there, so I’m going to with an AT&T bundle.
AT&T Advanced TV (Dish Network) requires either a $49.95 installation fee or a 24 month contract with a $10/mo ETF. Since Advanced TV (U-Verse) is coming there soon, its going to be cheaper to pay the $50 activation fee than to pay the ETF!
