Well, that all depends on your usage and needs. The provided link contains old information and a few errors about WildBlue's service. It also presents things in the worst possible context for WildBlue. Following a similar logic I could truthfully say something like, "I can download a 640MB Linux CD in less than 1-hour on my WildBlue system and that could take over 9-hours to do as a continuous download on Hughesnet because of their quick FAP. And that's +9-hours if you used their $79.99/mon ProPlus Package. It would take twice that long with their Home package."
I've been using WildBlue for over 26 months with no equipment failures or service calls. Running between 3 and 6 computers off the router, depending on how many kids are home from college. It works fine for me.
But please... Don't put me in the position of defending or promoting
any satellite ISP. Superior only to dial-up, and not in all aspects.
