Ya, the ping is REAL high on about every satllite provider, so wildblue could still be worth trying and they just recently lauched a satllite system into space and i'm qualified to be on the wildblue-1 (newer one) Also also called radio shack where they sell there wildblule there & I asked about how good it picked up here and from what I know i'ts good. (I hope) But mainly from what I read for about 3 hours of reading, It's most of the people don't know how to use it correctly! Like for instance, if you go over 17GB a month, then it will be slower than DIAL UP! until next month goes by and it should be the same speed. But as for the price range, its not bad at all, so I think i'm going to get it, and post yall and tell ya how it goes.

Nice, guess with 8 million + people in New York, theres a huge amount of competition. Not to mention, thats a jumping point for Europe helps out . Im happy with what we got out here in the desert.
