Wildblue is offering one months free service and N/C installation fee through May 31, 2007. However, there is an equipment cost of $299. Monthly charges for the Value Pak, 512/128 Kbps service, is $49.95. The Fair Use Policy (FAP) is based on monthly bandwidth usage. For the Value Pak the maximum usage is 7.5 GB per month which is adequate for most people. I have used satellite Internet in the past and would recommend Wildblue to anyone that only has dial-up access available for the foreseeable future. However, I would NOT recommend Hughes Broadband (DirectWay) service! -- Lee Parmeter http://www.bubbasgeek.com "When it comes to Vista, just say NO!
