I signed up with WildBlue, paid the outrageous $350.00 start up fee and bought the $49.95 a month plan. I have had it now for 6 months and counting and I have never been more miserable. At first like everything you purchase these days it seems, it seemed to somehow loose the connection. You can't run more than one computer off of it or it will screw one computer up. The speed is terrrible, I write faster than it brings up sites and now I can't wait until July to tell them to take me off their contract. WildBlue is not customer friendly, they just want your money. They don't even use their own product. They have another internet provider that handles their offices so what does that tell you about a company that won't use it's own product? Sure you can get faster service if you pay more money but the fastest service doesn't even come close to the slowest DSL. WildBlue is just for people like me who can't get a provider because we live in a region of the U.S. that God forgot about when he was handing out civilization passes. I can't wait to move and live in a place with high speed internet and than WILDBLUE can KISS MY MOON PIES. They won't steal anymore of my money for poor service!
