Does anyone have this and do you like it? I live out of town a little ways and we have high speed but dial up is faster than it. :mad: And I have no clue, so im going to switch to this if I hear good things about it. Thanks in advance

It's pretty expensive, isn't it?

did he say there was, or that their dial up is faster than the high speed available to them?

18 month agreement Seems pretty pricey to me.

If it works and you can consistantly get those results then I'd say maybe but...................make sure you have no other options such as Verizon wireless (if you have a strong cell signal) or a wireless conection via a ISP on a local tower (much better than a dish). Dishes typically get 400K-700K not 1.5 plus they don't work if a large cloud is within 100 miles.
