I am a few days from dropping my wildblue poor
excuse for internet access by satellite.

I began posting over a year ago on some other
websites in hopes to prevent others from falling
victim of this scam as I did.

Recently on 1 of these sites I happened to notice
that when I reviewed HH GREGG and Assurant Solutions
in regard to being ripped off on a 5 year extended
warranty, A few of the other users of that site
began harassing me by leaving nasty comments on my
reviews.

It seems they took so much offense with my Wildblue
review that they somehow managed to hack into the
that rating website.

They manipulated reader votes on many reviews made
about Wildblue and actually zeroed out both the
” AGREE ” AND THE ‘ DISAGREE ” category vote count
totals. They did not change totals for ” funny ” or
for ” helpful “.

Then they complained to the site administrator and
claimed I had multiple accounts which was against the
site rules.

I had learned that site was favoring Wildblue by their
repeated zeroing out of the votes for Wildblue in what
seemed obvious to me to be favoring and protecting them
from the public seeing what others felt about them.

I had sent messages to a few other members to alert
them to both the vote count hacking and also that some
of their reviews about Wildblue were simply vanishing
from the site.

After I had sent these messages through the site messaging
feature, 1 of the vanished Wildblue negative reviews
did re-appear! ( IMAGINE THAT )

I decided to cancel my membership with that site when
I received their made up charge accusing me of having
multiple accounts on their site. I was not sanctioned
or restricted, and I only had 1 account. But I did not
feel that site was on the level simply because they
were seemingly protecting Wildblue.

I had reviewed 10 different businesses and made about
100 comments on other reviews, mostly about my bad
times with Wildblue.

The site administrator did as I had asked him to do
and quickly closed my account, as well as deleting
my reviews in which I had rated those 10 businesses.

He also deleted all my comments as well as all my votes
I had made on other people’s reviews.

I have no problem with that rating site, my problem
is with myself because I had overlooked the fact that
Wildblue is a paying advertiser on their site. I
should have thought about the possible influence which
this fact could have upon any ratings.

Another interesting aspect which I have learned since
I closed my account with that rating site is that their
vote count totals are still incorrect.

I was curious about their vote count when I saw that
the vote count totals had been zeroed out on a few on
which I remembered the numbers.

Over the past several days I have visited and spoken to
several of my friends and relatives about my suspicions
of that web site.

I actually wrote down the vote count totals on about 30
reviews and had them in a notebook with me. I then asked
my friends to either visit that rating web site and place
their votes on these reviews from my notebook, or in the
case where they were members, to log in and place their
own votes.

After writing down the beginning and ending votes from
each of my visits, while I ‘shoulder surfed’ other’s pc
screens, I was able to confirm that this other rating site
does actually and frequently edit as well as zero out bad
vote count totals for the Wildlue reviews.

What I have advised those people I visited that have been
members of that site, is to do what I did and close their
accounts.

I do not know what the name is for what they are doing,
but I feel it is not right. In my opinion they are doing more
wrong than is Wildblue. Wildblue is simply not able to
deliver what we pay them for. That rating review site seems
to me to be helping lure people into doing business with the
Wildblue service by hiding the true opinions of those reading
the reviews.

Thank you for reading my opinions
