Wildblue satellite high speed internet?

[joedancer]

I was wondering if anyone is using them for home or business. I just found out about them. I am moving to an area that does not have dsl, and I really don't want to go with cable (metrocast) if I can help it. Thanks for your help!

I'm getting ready to get rid of my HughesNet service and go for WildBlue. Today my e-mail is down hard due to problems they're having, for the second time in a week. I can handle the weather-related outages (when heavy precip comes overhead you sometimes lose the satellite), but this other stuff is inexcusable.

Thanks Railroad,
I am hoping that they have a good enough deal at wildblue. I appreciate your post.

How much does it cost?

You can't get DSL in Leonardtown? Did you try the website or call Verizon?

It's still the same technology. You still couldn't use VPN or VoIP.

I have dsl at my business in downtown Leonardtown (verizon). Of course that is the first place I checked. There is no dsl in Breton Bay, where I am moving to. The only options are cable or the satellite services such as wildblue and gethughes.
