Sandi,
Of all the satellite high speed internet services available,
DishNetwork's WildBlue is the best there is. After doing a TON of research
on all of the possible satellite providers, we had it for a little over a
year (~$80 US/month) and absolutely HATED it! However, I believe our
experience would have been even worse had we gone with a different satellite
provider. Translation: Hold onto your dial-up until you can get a better
hard-wired connection to the super highway of data. You'll be much happier
in the long run.
Peace,
Gman
