Default AT&T bundle plans

I need to get the stuff hooked up for the new house and was looking at the AT&T bundled service plan. You can get a nice setup for ~ $240 a month.
1- Unlimited long distance land line phone
2- 900 rollover wireless minutes
3- Dish Network w/ all the premium channels
4- DSL (6Mbps)

My old house had too many trees so I couldn't get dish, so I was stuck w/ comcast and cable modem. Should be ok in this house for dish.
But, I've never had DSL, anyone dig/hate/indifferent?
Experience w/ AT&T?
Who else bundles stuff at a savings?

Having had both, I much prefer cable over DSL. I never had issues with cable going out on me but DSL seems to have some sporadic outages for me.

I've got cable at work and DSL at home through ATT (1.5 Mbps - all they have available right now). It is a little faster with the cable, but for what I use it for, the difference is hardly noticeable. I've been very happy with the DSL. We haven't had a single outage at home over the past 2 years, whereas I've had several at work with the cable due to utility work in surrounding areas.

With that said, if it were available, I would definitely do the bundle that you listed, assuming the cell coverage is good where you live. That seems like a great deal.

I have DSL with ATT and have been very pleased. I don't have anything other than dial-up to compare it with though. I've never had an outage to this point.

thanks for the input.
The cable we had at the old house was not without its outages, every other month or so it seemed like it might be down for a few hours or so.

To be honest that's the type of outage I experience with DSL but probably a bit more frequent like once or twice a month for a few hours. It just happened this week again for about 12 hours though so maybe my opinion is a bit slanted right now. And my DSL is through Qwest for whatever that is worth.
