Does anyone here use Wild Blue satellite internet service?

I’d like to hear from anyone using Wild Blue satellite internet service. We have ancient phone lines so dialup is at a snails pace. No cable service available. The only solution is a satellite provider is seems.

What are your actual costs? They advertise $49.95 a month but don’t say anything about access fees, taxes, etc. What is your actual bill? Thanks for your help!

Is Hughes Net a good internet choice for me?

I’ve been forced with dialup for 5 years. There is no DSL or cable ISP’s where I live, so I’ve been with my local ISP for years and now NetZero, both horrible. I got a flier from Hughes Net a few months ago, but I didn’t go with it because supposedly Verizon was coming here. No such luck and it’s not coming soon, so I’m reconsidering Hughes Net, or any satellite provider, assuming they’re good.

So as I ask, is Hughes Net good for internet, for DSL speeds? I really just want to download things in seconds/minutes rather than hours, watch videos, and upload work in peace. I’ve heard mixed things about this ISP, but at this point, I really need fast internet and am willing to pay for Hughes if gets me a good, reliable connection.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks alot in advance.
