i tried wildblue for a year.. best download speed i got was 698kps download despite the technician comming out 4 times and i had such high latency i was unable to use instant messaging services or voice chats or video streaming, also there was a 500 megabytes per (yes megabyte not gigs) of data capped per month at the time when i had it so i would be unable to stream any video from fox news or cnn or anywhere period and btw upstream is still limited to 56kps dialup.
So i ended up trying the hugesnet from Direct tv and it was nearly the same only customer service was worse.
No offense intended but Satelite internet is one of the worst forms of internet available and is only good if all you ever do is read text heavy web pages.. all satelite companies have horribly bad latency times and horribly low data caps preventing you from downloading pretty much anything at all.
So Wild blue, hughesnet are not an option if you want more infor wikipedia does a good job describing the unsuitability of current satelite internet options
