Wildblue is intended as an ALTERNATIVE TO DIAL UP. It's speed is 10-15x's faster than DIAL UP.
Speeds range between 512kbs-1.5megs. It is not recommended for

1. Downloading movies

3. Connecting to a VPN

If you have dialup this is faster ....If you are slowed down , you are slowed to dial up speed
If that is unbearable ( dial up Speed ) that is why you signed up for the provider in the first place.
Be Aware of your Download usage there is a google add on for that for more info on speeds read my blog
