Does anyone have experience with satellite internet?

Looks like the problem with Wild Blue is their web site, it said they didn't provide service in 80104 but when I looked up Exede they said they did and led me back to Wild Blue. I spoke with them and they do have service in the area. Their data caps are pretty low (30GB on their $160/mo plan) but at least there's another option.

I may have gotten lucky though, I found out the seller switched from HughesNet to Skybeam a while back and Skybeam said I would be able to take over the sellers equipment and get an account set up as soon as they cancel. They have a 5Mbps, 150GB plan for $~50 a month.

Thanks for the advice, I never realized what a PITA it is to get internet outside of the city.

1 year ago this would have not even been on our radar. Now with us looking at rural areas, it's one of the top questions we ask. Right after, last time septic was pumped, well GPM and contract for propane or do they own the tank. Who'd a thunk it

I'd never though about the propane question, does it make a big deal one way or the other or is it just paying the lease on the tank that's the issue?

Maybe we could us a new thread that covers all of these issues "Advice for moving out of the city". There's a ton of good advice that is spread out between about 10 different threads.
