Do you have satellite internet? What's your opinion of it? We live in a rural area and dial-up is currently all that is available to us. HughesNet is advertising to us that with Federal stimulus money, we are eligible for satellite internet at no cost for equipment and a lower monthly rate with no contract.
If we get a faster connection, I'll miss all the mini-naps I get while waiting for pages to post!!! :D :D But I might get a lot more sewing done if I don't spend as much time here! LOL
We would appreciate your opinions on your company / service / cost, etc.
I really trust the opinions expressed here :thumbup:

YOU WILL LOVE the satellite internet...so much faster! However, check out the different ones available. We were going to go with Hughesnet but was told it was having problems at the time (this was 2 years ago) and so we went with Wildblue.net. Very happy with them. Do some checking with maybe any neighbors you have because the competition is strong. It might be Hughesnet is offering the greatest deal or check on others. Try not to get into any contract longer than one year.
