text: why do i see so many negative posts about wildblue satellite internet when i go to the forums? it seems that there are a disproportionate amount of negative reviews about wildblue satelilte internet on the forums that i go to. this makes me leary of the service since i have no prior experience in using their system.  is there anyone out there who  currently subscribes to willdblue that could give me an accurate assessment of how good/bad it is?  thanks! the purpose of a forum is to exchange ideas ...it would seem to me that you already got your assessment of wildblue from the other forums ...  since you dont believe or trust their assessment, you should try them out and form your own opinion.  in my experience with forums, they are generally accurate when discussing service or product performance .. i recommend you try cnet for their evaluation, however, if wildblue is an advertiser, they may not have a fair or complete evaluation either ... what does consumer reports (they operate without advertising so they can stay impartial) say about them?
