Bundled might be cheaper but does it satisfy your needs? From what I've read Dish does not have internet except as bundled with a partner like satellite, cell, cable, etc. Also look at what's available for your future home plus you might want to change providers in the future.

Your best bet is to canvas your local cable and phone companies to see what prices and speeds are available in your area. Cable Cos often will have introductory rate specials for 3-6 months then price goes up but you can often renegotiate some deal after the special rate has finished.
Be aware of data caps if you are planning to do a lot of streaming, very few now days offer truly unlimited data.

I am currently on Cable Internet, paying for 200 Mbps down 20 Mbps up, actually getting 256 down and 21 up $100 per month and that is bundled with a landline package that includes unlimited long distance calling. Without the landline the price would be about $80 per month
