Wait, wrong thread. [Coffee]


One of my neighbors is using Blue Sky and haven't heard any complaints.

Perhaps I should just rent DVDs locally and just forget TV altogether. [Coffee] I'll check out Blue Sky though.

Contrary to their name, they are line of sight to towers.

GilpinGuy... No internet available through Centurylink?
We have good luck streaming with them even though we have limited service.

DishNet is HughesNet. I used to have it. Completely sucks. 20gb data limit. You go over, they drop your speed to 512k. The dish equipment says HughesNet on it.

They also said I went through 20gb in 4 days. Total BS.

He might only be able to get "dial-up" service with them, where he is at.

At best. No fiber optic or DSL around here for a while.
