Hank, I am going to hitch on to your subject since this has been uppermost
in my mind these past few days. I am sorry I can't help you with your
choices but I have a tale to tell about my search for high speed internet.
I decided to go with Wild Blue through Dish Network. They made an appt. to
set me up July 3rd between 8 and 12 noon. I waited, not too patiently,
until noon and then I called. Learned that someone had failed to get the
work order out. The lady mentioned that it was on my credit card so I
checked and sure enough it had already been charged to me. We set up
another appointment this time for July 17th between 8 and noon. Again no
one showed up and no one called. I spent the afternoon on the phone trying
to find out what happened and trying to find someone who knew. I was put in
touch with their subcontractor, Blue Sky, and she said they were in my town
and I would be next on the list. Did I still want it? I told her if they
could still get to me this same day,yes. No one called me back and no one
showed up. At about 5 p.m. I called again and she said no one was even in
this area and they had no one out here to do the work. I canceled the order
and asked for a refund. I am glad I found out how unreliable they are
before being locked in to an 18 month contract.
Still researching my options--and still on dialup.
Sandi
