Any one deal with Wild Blue internet service? We have direct TV dish Wondering if it is worth a stab to go there? 39.99 right now I thing 49. after a year? What do you pay up front $189 or something for what ? box or what ? b
hi beswen. we're on the internet with wildblue, and we have dish for tv...after the analogue change, we couldn't get anything on the tv so had to do something. we rent our dish and get service from wildblue for around $44 a month (since February this year). it is slightly faster than dialup. we have no cable out here for high speed. they make you sign up for at least 2 years. they give you a modem. the only problem we've had so far is that they charge us a fee of $96 if they have to come out and repair their equipment. there's a couple forums on the net if you google wildblue that are very helpful. one is here... http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/index.php
Thanks bunkie. Thats what I worry about .. breakdowns. They are charging 50. here . I guess they have to install it . We do own our i think.. GOt it free on some offer long ago. thanks bali
When Jubabe tried to use this they ended up with all the hiden fees it was a total of 7 hundred dollors .Jubabe called and demanded her money back and got it.She is happy with Hughes Net.
ouch glendann! we have hughesnet offered here too. got a year plus till our contract ends. yes bswen, they had to install it here. in the ten plus months we've had it, it's only broken down once...it was some part on the dish that broke and had to be replaced. 96 bucks was ridiculous. took the guy 15 minutes to fix. course, we live way in the sticks...but still... 50 bucks is a lot too! the only other problem is that when there's a storm or snow, the connection slows or stops completely. usually cleaning off the dish helps.
THanks glenda an bunkie I never have to get anyone here .. Dialup we call an email an it works.. b I will have to check out hughes
I have wildblue .Its ok its faster than dail up I live in the country boone docks and they have to pipe us sunshine LOL so its good
You sound like us for sure . I think someone was piping us snow heavily here . Still waiting for faster net. The electric company is pondering faster internet for us..I hope. I am still dial up, but the new computer is windows 7 an it helps some. b
Yes you can .Its just faster than internet explorer Browser and you can stil use internet explorer browser
