So... not really a constructive post at all, just a "get-it-out-there" rant. I have had Wildblue as my wireless ISP for four moneths now, how many days of those four months have we had full, active service? Maybe one month yet, like saps we've been payng for four months of service. After barely any internet useage whatsoever and little downloading with no uploading our internet useage was throttled siting "Violation of the fair access policy." Now, ten days after returning to normal we had a rainstorm last night' 14 hours later and the internet still is not running though the modem is blinking steadily indicating that it CAN access the satellite, it just doesn't want to or the satellite doesn't want to talk to it. Right now I sit at home using my dialup which, sadly, has turned out to be far mor ereliable and worthwhile service than the advertised "lighting fast speeds" of wireless. Mind, I didn't expect miracles and when it's going fine it does great... but it hasn't been going fine for three-quarters of the time we've had it.

I have WildBlue as well. It SUCKS. BIG F~%~ING TIME.
However, I live in the f+#+ing middle of f+~$ing nowhere, and it's the only internet I can get (the phone company doesn't provide internet).
Where exactly do you live? If it's somewhere populated, it would probably be better to just stick to a land line.

welcome to my life... though I do hope you enjoy your stay =P Although we do have a modem dialup connection we have dubbed it "Calamity Disconnect" a pun on the name, it's even worse than Wildblue.
Edit: actually, I think you've been around longer than me so maybe I should be welcome to your life? Hmmm.... a phraseology paradox.
