We had Dish TV and Windstream phone/DSL until a few years ago. Tried to bundle to get savings, got so fed up with the deal (you are having to deal with 2 different companies) that we dropped Dish for an exterior antenna, and went with local cable for internet. Our home phone is a Verizon Cell-type receiver (looks like a jet-pack receiver, disconnect outside phone lines, and plug into a phone outlet $25 month) that we use at home, and take with us while on the road.
Like Dutch_12078 said, you're at the mercy of some local yokels.
