Internet Basic 6 Plan
I was wondering if anyone knew if Internet Basic 6 would be fast enough or even good enough for Directv Now to run on? I want to know before I get the Internet service installed on Tuesday. I appreciate any help I get.

My Thoughts Thank you for responding to my question. No it is the lowest plan they offer in my area. I was looking to keep cost down. Well I will be watching Directv Now and probably have my computer on browsing the web at the same time. I do that all day long. Plus I am a night owl so after I even turn off the computer the TV is still going. So I just don't know if this is a good enough plan for me? Would it support live streaming all the time? Would I run over on my usage cap? When I asked these question they seemed so sure but I have my doubts after reading things people are saying.

I can't get universe or Direct TV here. I live in an apartment and they won't let me put up a dish. For some reason Charter has this area blocked off or something for AT&T Universe service. So I found online this Directv Now service too replace Charter Cable which is run off the internet. So this is why I need to know some of this because I didn't think it all the way through before I ordered my service with AT&T internet. I just wanted to get away from Charters high prices. I just want to make sure that I am getting the right plan so I don't go over the cap. Directv Now is run off the internet service and I will probably be surfing the web while watching TV. I turn the computer off but then go to the bedroom where I watch move TV. Which will mean more streaming. I went on AT&Ts site and I don't think I can get anything better. When I tried to put a package together it would only use the Basic 6 plan for internet. I didn't even get to chose. Maybe I should cancel and just wait on this. Thank you for trying to help me to understand. I guess I just don't get it.

Basic 6 is terrible for just my husband and I - he'll stream a surf contest and i'll just be just surfing the web or working and our internet seems VERY spotty. They don't offer fast than Basic 6 in our area so I'm looking at other provider options.

Since I moved I have internet 6 I hate it they will not provide anything else. My recordings on the genie for direct do not work and on demand does not work. I’m paying for those services but cat use them it’s ridiculous. Is there a modem out there that might solve my problem
