    I have been hearing all the stories about satellite internet. honestly the service with qwest was much better at the old house.

    this house has been a nightmare. i bet I have spent 15 hours on the phone with qwest in the last two months.

    we had just a little piss ant storm roll through about two hours ago and my phones and internet went out again. THIRD TIME TODAY.

    We had the same problem when we moved into our house about 10 years ago. I bitched and bitched because they kept telling me it was the wiring inside the house. I told them it was not the house wiring. They finally sent a tech out to test the house wiring and he said it wasn't the house. It was the wire coming into the house.

    I kept bitching and they finally ran a brand new line from the house to wherever it goes. It took them 2 1/2 days but it's worked great ever since.

    I have Qwest DSL and have a brief period at about 4:11 pm every day when I lose service for about 3 - 5 minutes. Weird.

    We have had Wildblue for a few years now and are pretty happy with it.
    It does go belly up when there is a very heavy rain storm. When we get a heavy wet sticking snow, we do have to go out and clean off the dish. Other than that, we are satisfied.
    Wildblue sure beats the hell out of the dial up (for us down here in the boon docks).
