I would like to thank you all for your reviews of Wild Blue. They sound similar to those of other Internet Satellite Companies like Hughes.net and SkywayUSA. I was very close to signing on the dotted line but I think I will check into a PC Card which at least if it doesn't work, I can return and I won't be stuck in a contract.

Some suggestions for you folks who seem to be stuck are to dispute the charges with your credit card company. My experience has been that they tend to side with you, their customers, rather than the business. Other options are to take them to small claims court but make sure to ask for all of your fees back, including court costs.

Anyway, I wish you all good luck in getting rid of this satellite service and look into PC or Wifi Cards next time if available in your area. My research suggests this might be a better way. If you get cell service where you are at, you should be able to get this service. The equipment is if not free, generally cheaper than the satellite equipment. Overall as far as costs, it is about the same for a 2 year period, it just seems like a lot less hassle.

Actually...the WildBlue signup is illegal in all states of the US, and you can just stop them from taking money from your account immediately. Make sure to do it right though, as they sure do know how to keep charging you...long after service is terminated. Do not take their guff...it is just noise and fury..signifying absolutely nothing. Ignore them...ignore their surrogate Saturn Systems...and nothing will happen. Their idle threats are not worth the paper they are written on. They are in complete violation of the laws...and they apparently relize if too...even if they will not acknowledge it being so. In the end, they will do absolutely nothing to you, for closing them off.
