fikester Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yes I was impressed when they first fired it up......now after seeing the problems etc, don't see any improvement over Hughes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm311 Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wild Blue was the thing to have for a while. But they are not too amazing anymore. They found the same problems that Dway had. Although they did free up some bandwidth for the ones that stayed. lol its all true...but WB is launching a 2nd satellite this spring and we just did a network upgrade to allow for more bandwidth..but if they keep up this trend they aren't going to last long IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the trick would be to do as the other ISP's are doing and start upping the bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I mean the best package we offer is 1.5 Mb but that is *up to* minimum for that is 900 so WB doesn't offer a whole lot for packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes only guarantees minimum 200 kbps. Hmm... And for more $$ of course they will up your speeds tremendously. But that is commercially and expensive. Not on the normal pages.

But that is commercially and expensive. Not on the normal pages. That guaranteed 900 is for 79.95 a month then downhill from there. The 69.95 a month guarantees 600 and the 49.95 guarantees 350.

fikester Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 Just curious if there is a link for the guarantees mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
