Is Dish TV & High Speed Internet Available in the Same Package?

by Jeris Swanhorst, Demand Media

DISH Network is known as a television service provider, but DISH also offers home phone and high-speed DSL Internet services. Home phone and Internet services can be ordered separately, or they can be bundled with DISH television service. By bundling television and Internet or phone service, DISH customers can save up to $20 per month.

TV and Internet

The television and Internet bundle package from DISH Network offers TV service and high-speed DSL service for one monthly fee. Television service with this bundle includes local channels and over 60 additional channels. Internet service with this bundle package includes download speed up to 1.5 Mbps. A variety of add-on features are available for additional fees for both the TV and Internet service, including additional television channels and faster download speeds for the Internet.

TV Channels

The 60 channels included in the TV and Internet bundle package consist of a variety of family, news, sports, movies and other channels. Some of the included channels offered are TBS, ESPN, HGTV, CMT, CNN and TLC. Upgrading to America's Top 120 plan will cost an additional monthly fee, and it will include 60 more channels such as Nickelodeon, ABC family, The History Channel and Food Network.

Features

Included with the TV and Internet bundle from DISH are several other temporary features. Blockbuster service is provided for free for three months, which allows customers to order DVDs online and have them mailed to their homes. Other features include free television installation in as many as six rooms, free HD television for life, free HBO, Cinemax or Starz for three months and Dish Platinum for three months, which provides 22 additional channels.

TV, Internet and Phone

Customers can choose to bundle TV, Internet and phone services through DISH. The TV and Internet service in this bundle package are the same as the TV and Internet bundle plan, but phone service is added. The monthly fee is higher when bundling the three, but it may be cheaper than paying for each of the three separately. The phone service includes features such as call waiting, caller ID, three-way calling and call blocking.
