I just got Wildblue exede. We went without internet for six months at home while I did a lot of hand wringing about satellite (no dsl or cable here).
We just picked it up in mid march. the new satellite. It absolutely flies. ‘Couse there is a 12 gig a month limit, but so far we’re way under our limit. We don’t stream movies or anything.
It’s a bit more expensive than cable, but so far I’m very pleased. We’ll see how I feel in a year.
We also live way out in no where so it’s either dial up or satellite. We went with hughes net because at the time we couldn’t get Wildblue. They were all filled up, I’m guessing they can only have so many people hooked up per satellite. Since then they launched another satellite so when our contract with hughes net runs out we can switch. And if they don’t fix this thing, we will most certainly be switching.
