Subject: Wildblue for a year or so now.



South Texas
Just reporting what I've experienced. No other agenda.

I'm 'way out in the country so no DSL or anything else. It's satellite or dialup. Tried a satellite downlink, phone line up and didn't like it at all. Actual cost of WB is $83/mo and change. I sprung for the higher end WB and do get the advertised 1.5 Mbps regularly.

"Regularly" means now and again I don't. Cloud cover is a bummer, as are rainstorms. Light drizzle slows, but doesn't stop it. Had one actual outage for some 24 hours and WB reimbursed $5 on the next bill. No, it won't work for VOIP until we can juice up that dang speed o' light.

Haven't needed service yet--the guy is some 80 miles away. Will see how it goes.

I kept the old dialup for ten bucks a month and use it probably twice a month for a few hours. (Other posters here have pointed out there are old dialups for less, but this way I don't change my old e-mail addy I've had for years.)

Hope this helps. Stetts
