I have wildblue. I work in IT. I live out of the middle of no where. Before you go off on wildblue. Let me explain something to you. Speeds vary cause of how many are on at a time. Just like a web site. More on that web site slower it is. Wildblue by far is not perfect. But no company is. Wildblue is updating ever day. There is new information on satellite Internet every day. You are not on cable threw fiber optic. Witch I'm use too. Satellite internet has to be cared from your computer to satellite and to server satellite. And back down to your satellite and back to computer and modem. Trust one day maybe there will be a faster satellite Internet. But it's go to cost cause how much it cost to put up in space and also equipment cost lots to make and keep up. One day it will be cheap. Just research online. Wildblue and vitasat just launched a new satellite so you can watch web cams Netflix YouTube. Anything new will have problems. Last note wildblue offers dial up at no charge . Thanks Hello guys.

The people we bought the house from had DSL but Verizon would not connect me because they are supposedly doing upgrades to the CO. I’m coming from 16mbs down to 1mb (I had free Internet). I know what I got into when I signed the dotted line. If you don’t like their service or any other companies service there is nothing that says you have to use them. You always have a choice of not having the Internet. Plus don’t forget you choose where you live. If you Lost $7,000 in one day may be you should look to move to a place that provides service you need. Pulse there is no service/utility provider that can guaranty 100% service all the time. Unfortunately things come up. Plus if you are using the Internet for your business you should always have a back up provider like Dial Up.

Smart businessman but horrible ethics and poor employee morale he give to his employees. Vulgar mouth and yells at his execs.

Have had them about 3 years. (no other choice til now) We have them "bundled" I guess with At&t so when they installed they gave me an at&t email addy. I have NEVER seen a bill on paper or online so I have no idea what's going on except that they take my money. On the rare occasion I did get an email from WB there was no way to sign into my account and check on anything. I called to get a WB email addy and they said I couldn't b/c of At&t. At&t!? they don't have my bill!!! So, now that I want to cancel....I'm going to be in BIG trouble huh! You know WB will say I have to check with At&t, At&t will say noooo WB. So really, what do I do? After everything I've read on this wonderful site, I'm pretty nervous. Any suggestions how to cancel and not let them rake me over the coals? First off let me say I hate Wild Blue.

Why? Because WildBlue isn't connecting today. Again. Does anyone know who the current President, CEO, and BoD may be for WildBlue? I found this blog whilst searching for that particular bit of info so I can steer them to the WildBlue Facebook page to see the vitriol and unhappiness WB customers are spewing forth...

I'm rural and have no choice to get web access. The others are no better! Guess what, we are rural, don't have cable and so all updates for computers, phones, electronics, software have to be downloaded via Wildblue. They are the "soup" nazi on bandwidth so we can't even watch movies via Netflix or Blockbuster (to much bandwidth) and the nazi's move in. We are between a rock and a hard place with no alternatives!!! Again, worst company ever!!! By far the worst company that I have ever dealt with, bar none!!!

After you hit 80% usage, you're slowed down to the point that it is almost unusable. I say almost, but occasionally I can get on to check email. However, I can't even access my local weather on-line, it is slowed down that much! With Wild Blue, you only get 40 cents on the dollar for what you are actually paying. Go figure. How can this even be legal? Has the FCC investigated this?!
