I have WB running my home network in Russell, PA. Like N4ST, I was on an EVDO modem in a fringe area until WB became available. Same price, MUCH better. I currently see two risks with WB: 1. Like all satellite-internet providers, you're at the mercy of the
installer. A bad
installation make for poor performance. 2. Ka band and a small dish have me concerned with winter coming and snow/ice on the dish. I plan to spray Kings on the dish to de-ice it, but the heavy cloud cover/snow may cause problems.
If you Google "Wild Blue forum" you see a link to WildBlue Uncensored. This is a trade rant forum where you'll learn more that you wanted punctuated with adult language. I went with it anyway, but it was good to go in with my eyes wide open.
WildBlue Uncensored does have good articles about the current state of the spot beams, equipment failures, and optimizing your computer without using the company software. I would recommend anyone that really works their computer to visit the forum.
