I have had it with wild blue. They have dropped me to half the speed of dial up and are still charging me the top package price. When I contacted them they talked to me like I was a child and kept telling me it wasn’t their rule it was the FCC’s rule. My service has been horrible since day one. Due to our location I basically have no choice and they love that. I too was told, when I asked about a business account, that I would have to go thru another company. But when I called 3days ago the we’re telling me about the new satellite that was up and running for only $150 per month. Today when I called I was told that satellite would not be up and running until April. They can’t even keep their lies straight after I hung up on the idiot that I was talking to I can’t even get online. Bit I am sure they are still charging me. I hope they have nightmares because of what they are doing to everyone!

What is up with the class action lawsuit? I would definitely participate. Have had WildBlue for 3 months, called umpteen times, had 3 service appointments where the service guys didn’t show or call and now, after my 90 days has run out, they say they will send a service guy out for $95.00. They are nothing but rip-off artists and something needs to be done!

Add me to any potential lawsuit against Wild Blue. My “two year” contract expires with them in September of 2012 and I will go to the library in town to use the internet. They take my money each month and I’m lucky to get on the internet at all and can barely get email. I absolutely hate, hate, hate this company!

I have WB for about 3 months and it never gets better! I have even tried the faster packages. It seems that all the packages are the same speed. This service is slower than dial up. I actually wish that I had dial up. I think that it would be worth paying the fees to get out of the contract. I can’t believe that I was sucked into this company along with everyone else. How can WB get away with this??

Very misleading company… they even use the Government as a gimmick to get you signed up via a postcard stating you qualify for a reduced rate because DSL isn’t available in your area. Horrible!!! I’ve had Wild Blue for a total of a day and a half. I am currently waiting for my box via U.P.S. to mail their crap back to them! Thank goodness I have I pre-paid debit card… I took all my money off of the card so they can’t charge me. I was told that I agreed to a 24mo contract and that I’d be charged 300 and some $$$. I did not agree to a contract! This company is a scam.

Having read some of the reports here, I feel pretty lucky actually. I’ve not had the rain issues. Even had reception through a good part of hurricane Ike. I guess that could be very location dependent. But I’ve had cause to run into their shoddy business practices many times. A class action is the only way to get their attention. Make sure to file suit before congress makes it harder to qualify for class action — which is coming soon.
