Have you guys heard about WiLine networks?

Here's their website: http://wiline.com/residential/internet.html

The page says it all: for $99 you get a bundle: 15Mbps down AND up (they promise symmetrical!), and a DirecTV package. And you can get static IP as well for an extra $10/month.

What strikes me is that Google turns up practically zilch about them.

Anyone know anything about them?

looks odd, won't tell you if you can get service unless you call, and ordering is through email.

Yes, that surprised me too. The only references I could find about them were that they are hiring. You'd think if they have amjor bundle deal with DirecTV they could do a better website.

Looks too good to be true, call them and ask about it, also before you give any info call directv and ask them as well.

Only $100/month?

It turns to $130 in 3 months, still a good deal though imo

I'm wondering what's the underlying technology to provide 15 Mbps both ways. My guess is - they are going to use DirecTV dish - I found in their FAQ that they swap the DirecTV card and place their own in there if you already have DirecTV service.
