Direct TV doesn't have a broadband Internet component.
They have a bundling deal with local DSL providers, which can vary from crap to tolerable. Then there is satellite Internet which is about the most-expensive and least-satisfactory way to get on the Internet. It's slow, unreliable, frequently throttled, has horrible data caps, and just all-around sucks.
A verizon/sprint/at&t card, even with a 1-bar EVDO/EDGE signal, is still going to be more enjoyable than satellite Internet.
