My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | WildBlue ~ So far so good !!! I live in the country, far out where I can't get any of the fantastic technolgy thats offered! I love the country, but hate that we can't get anything out here So, I decided to look into Satellite Internet and went thru Dish Network and it was installed today. Its a very over cast day and everything is working great! I ordered their lowest speed pkg and I'm lovin it As its faster than dial up. It wasn't that pricey either. $199.00 equipment fee, no installation, and 49.95 per month. Then there a rebate since I have Dish for TV of $100.00, which they will deduct $10 per month of my bill for 10 months. So really....its not that bad. I only used my landline phone for my dial up internet so I'm canceling that and using my cell phone. Cancel my Netscape and callwave...and I'm SAVING money every month! So lets hope this continues to work good!!!! Any other Satellite Internet users out there? |

| OMG! Your going notice the speed immediately...I don't have satellite but I do have cable...when we had dial up I could click on a page then go out & fold the laundry....when I got back it was finally loaded..click again..leave & mop the floor.. it was agony!!!... I actually had to think if I REALLY wanted to click on a page.....I will never have dial up again!....You're gonna love it now!

| My parents have had satellite internet for 6 months or so. They live in Washington where it's pretty much always raining and they have never had a problem with their service going out. Even in the middle of a huge thunder/lighting/pooring down rain storm they had perfect service.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | What kind do you have? Did you have your choice of speed? What did you choose? I went with the lowest pkg and I'm pleased but you never know...I may even want FASTER ! |

| We had problems with satellite. Would always lose the picture on windy days and sometimes on a calm day. We got rid of it. It was just too expensive for no more than they offer anyway. |

It's direct tv. I'm not sure the speed. It was not given as a choice. We love it. I do usually get on the net during a real bad storm anyways, for the fear of the loss of all electronics. I just read a book or take a nap , if it's that nasty out | |
