Does anyone have it? How is it? How is the reception? DH wants to get it but they said there is a minimum $99 service call if you need service, like if the wind blows your dish out of alignment. And we have a lot of wind.
I am always nervous about hidden charges and such. I would appreciate any advice, thanks.

We have Wildblue and find now we could not live without it! The wind itself does not affect the position it is in since they have it bolted down really well. However, during winter we had to go out and use a long handled brush to move the snow off of it. So much better than dial up!!

I have Pinebelt satellite internet and it works great. It is the only way I can get internet and TV as I am so rural there are no lines run out here. I'm lucky to have phone and electric. Did have Hughes.net but went with local company as the price is so much lower. No problem with winds, and I live in Alabama so we have had plenty of wind lately. Some times it is slower when very heavy rain, same as satellite TV, which I also have from Dish.
