Wildblue is a good bet when you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Cable stopped at the corner of one road and went down to the lake. Cable company stated that if we wanted to pay $2500.00 they would run the line to our house and we could have cable and the internet service, now mind you this was at least ten years ago. I was looking to hookup with what was Directway when I saw the ad for Wildblue in one of the mag that I get called country living. We live in middle of nowhere on 28 acres 13 miles from town in Coldwater, MI. If you time it just right Wild blue sometimes has their equipment on sale as well as the installtion. I got both for less than $300.00, and I'm so glad cause it sure beats dial-up, though we have dial-up for emergencies.

Just what to stop in and say "Hi" to everyone. I just signed on this morning, I've been reading through the posts and noticed that some user's have WildBlue. I'm considering upgrading from the "Value package" to the "Select Package" and finding an alternative to dail-up. As the user name implies I'm in area where the is no cable, or high speed internet service not even DSL. I have already paid for my Wildblue equipment, other then a few blips when we have bad weather I have had no problems with it. Just what faster speed, thought about having the TV options added to my PC, but with what I have read so far not a good idea.
