Compare Rates on Satellite Television in Washington

Providers

Average Cost
DirecTV $44
Dish Network $50

Satellite television is emerging as one of the top entertainment mediums all over the country, and the state of Washington is no stranger to the technology. Many Washington residents benefit from the use of a satellite dish every single day. Like the rest of the country, however, the options for a satellite television provider are actually quite limited.

For the most part, the entire United States is limited to two providers of satellite television, DIRECTV and DISH Network. The Pacific Northwest, however, is more prone to stick with DIRECTV, because of its affiliation with Qwest, a large telecommunications service in Washington.

Qwest offers deals on DIRECTV service, so it's likely going to be the best option for residents of Washington. Their basic package includes over 150 channels and starts at just $35 per month. Other packages range from the basic $35 monthly package to a $90 per month package that includes 265 channels including premium movie channels.

Qwest is a great option for those living in the state of Washington, as they are able to offer DIRECTV service a slightly discounted rate. DISH Network is available to those interested, but the pricing is going to be slightly higher for the same service.
