Customers in Watch’s mostly rural service area tend to use satellite TV network DISH. But if you’re in Indiana or western Ohio, you also have the option of signing up for streaming TV packages.
Watch doesn’t offer bundle discounts for any of these packages. You simply order whatever TV plan you like and add it to your preferred internet package.
You should choose Watch Communications for internet service because it delivers fast speeds and generous data allowances in parts of the rural Midwest that otherwise have extremely limited internet options. Watch has competitive prices compared to other rural providers, and its fixed wireless internet gives you a much more reliable connection than satellite internet.
Watch Communications costs more and gives you lower speeds than most DSL and cable internet providers, and it also doesn’t quite match up with Rise Broadband—a major fixed wireless provider that delivers similar service at a lower price. However, Watch is a much better deal than satellite internet.
