please send any responses to my personal email , n8dcj@yahoo.com I have moved to a place with no land based broadband internet availability (no DSL or RoadRunner). Does anyone have any experience wit
I used a DirecTV/DirecWAY internet satellite for several years. It works fine. It was almost DSL speed but not cable modem speed. This was 4 years ago, so higher speeds may be available. Beats the he
Hi Dan and Bill, I have WildBlue and love it. I was able to deal with VPN when I was working for Oce and needed it to access our network. Never worried about the speed as it was light years ahead of
I've had Wild Blue two different places and the experience was at best mediocre. Speed was always an issue regardless of what was promised and even light rain/dew/fog seriously affected my ability to
The key to correcting your Wildblue in the rain is to install a solo cup to the TRIA (feedhorn) to make a sort of rain shield. The angle the TRIA takes seems to collect water. The other trick is to c
WildBlue was also a PIA to deal with for the most part, at least here. We lived 150 miles east of where we are now (Houston area) and are now I San Antonio. Both places was a lot of hassles to deal w
Dan, I now live in a rural area where cable TV is not available and my local phone company, AT&T, has not upgraded the facilities to allow DSL. I would switch to DSL in a heartbeat if it was availabl

Any chance of getting a fixed wireless ISP? That would be better than any satellite ISP. Satellite is better than dialup, but not by much. There is nothing you can do about the latency. That is purel
Less than 5 years ago my daughter had it out in the mountains of Colorado. She had so many problems with it she finally gave up. I guess it's one of those YMMV<:-)) 73 Roger (K8RI) __________________

DBS systems (for TV) use frequencies around 12GHz. I think they are using higher freqs now with the new Ka birds for HD. Wildblue internet transmits 29.5 to 30 GHz, receives 19.7 to 20.2 GHz Ryan, N2
I think the water-vapor absorption line is at 22.2 GHz, and that this also marks the boundary between Ku and Ka (under and above, get it?). So their downlink is a bit close, but I don't know how broa
Yes. I believe that doing it without ham radio is legal... But I was specifically addressing the comment about high power using a ham license. Ryan, N2RJ -- Sent from my mobile device Ryan A. Jairam,

OK, I'm a bit behind. Sorry. John, where are you at? There may be some WISPs in the area (the industry is surprisingly large) that can help you. We've normally got speeds and reliability far and abov
