My family and I are very happy with WildBlue also. Don't get me wrong, if cable or DSL was available we would switch in a heartbeat, but satellite is so much better than dial-up. As long as you can tolerate the latency, and I don't do twitch gaming or VOIP, so it does not bother me. I have had the system for 13-months and have had 1 outage on my end from hardware failure, and of course the rain fades which correspond fairly well with those of my DirecTV, and the Laredo ground station has had miscellaneous brief outages. But overall, I get the advertized "max" speeds during off peak hours and run at about 75%-85% of max speeds druing peak hours.
