They recently had fiber optics run out to the ranch so I’m assuming I’ll have decent speed? Might just buy Sunday ticket anyway. Sometimes they have sign up bonuses. Appreciate the info. |

Re: South Texas people
I know right! I had it a few years ago when we switched service providers. They included Sunday Ticket for $50 as an introductory price. I dumped it after the season because I didn’t want to pay full price. Especially since I could watch Saints games free on network TV anyway.

Re: South Texas people
This is where I gravitated to also. Had Sunday Ticket a la carte for years. Then DirectTV forced bundling with a package to upgrade to HD. Fought with them year after year to keep the price down. Would cut off DirectTV for 6 months out the year.
In the Atlanta market there are a minimum of 10 Saints games per year between national broadcasts, FailClown games with the Saints, and games of the week. So, paying and all that hassle for 5 or 6 games each season. Final straw was trying to go all in so as not to have cable and DirectTV. DTV quoted me a price of $700 to upgrade to boxes in the house. That's the day I kicked them to the curb. I thien switched to NFL Game Pass. Decent price and had a loophole where it is possible to watch games live in international markets using a VPN. Did that a couple of years until the NFL closed the loophole. NFL makes the mistake of thinking that all NFL fans are willing to spend hella dollars to see all of their products when the truth is most fans are willing to invest dollars into their specific teams. I don't know why they don't understand that any fan within driving distance of the home stadium, which of course is sold out and has a waiting list, and has access to games on broadcast TV, are not going to switch to streaming if a team package is offered. But those out of market fans craving access to their specific team will sign up in droves. This is why the streaming black market exists. There is literally no reasonable, cost effective, legal way to get access to Saints games out of market. Especially when more than half the games are shown in those out of market places anyway. But looking at the schedule for the first time in a very, very, very long time, the Saints have 12 early window Sunday games this season. So, there's going to be a lot of firing up the VPN this fall since the FailClowns will likely have 16 early Sunday window games. SFIAH |
