iPhone connecting to Direct TV Internet

[calebb0917]

Do any of you have Direct TV as your Internet provider? Can you connect an iPhone to it over Wi-Fi?

The iPhone will connect to any Wi-Fi source (assuming you have a router).

Yeah i know, i'm just not sure if Direct TV supplies a modem for their Internet service. I dont know how their service works

You'll have a modem that should be able to be hooked to a wireless router but I would expect your 3G speed to be better than you get over satellite.

Do you have DSL available in your area? Directv uses 10 different companies to provide DSL service.

If no DSL available they use Wildblue which will install another satellite for your internet service.

Regardless you will be able to connect a wireless router.

I would be curious to know the place that would have AT&T 3G coverage, but not available DSL, Cable, or Fiber (FiOS/Uverse). I'd bet those places are few and far between.
