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 Verizon dial up
which on a good day was 24.6!
I have used it with Echolink and it works fine. Very few outtages in 5 plus
years.... Hope it doesn't go South now!
