[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 2964096, member: 1111"] For the first six or so years at my country place we had Wildblue. It started out OK, but got really slow before we canceled. I called to complain once that I wasn't getting the speed down that I was paying for and they told me, "We're launching a new satellite next year." I canceled on the spot. Thankfully we eventually figured out that the phone provider out of Mannford had DSL out there. We didn't have a phone, but we got one. They had to run about 1,000 feet down to my place from the pedestal out by the street and the install cost me $79. It's only 3GB advertised, but we stream Netflix, general surfing, run security cameras, remotely access computers and I've worked remotely out there on my company's VPN several times. Never felt sluggish or slow. Not sure about the Maybe try the DSL first? Worst case it makes you appreciate the $3,000-10,000 install for the fast stuff! :) [/QUOTE]
