I'm getting dishNET installed.
I'm getting dishNET installed Tuesday am. It's going to utilize the Jupiter system. I've heard horror stories in regards to the install process.
Any techs out there want to give me some advice as to what you might like to see done before you arrive? I am going to be following him/her around watching the install. I want to see how it is done so I don't have to worry about anything in the future. And so I can help some people out.
Any info would be appreciated. I just went with the 5/10g service for starters. I already have Verizon DSL. Just using it as a back up and toy.

A secure mount is a must whether it's on a pole or mast, along with a clear line of sight. Good luck & report back with your results.

Keep us updated! We had Wildblue a while back when they first 'opened up' subscribers to their new satellite. At first, it was awesome. But after time, it had too much load with so many subscribers.. It ended up worthless between 5PM and 11PM (which is when we were home to use the internet)--the same speed as dial-up only WAY more expensive.
Our install went fine. The LNB fried after about a year because the O-ring degraded and water got inside. (found online where same thing happened with others so that seemed to be a 'genetic' defect).
It will be interesting to hear about your experience... both with install and with the service. If the speed and reliability is par with 3G, then we would consider getting too.. mainly since there's plans with >5GB/month limit.---

Won't be on a pole. Only other advice I can say is like the other poster said this is new to us also, don't be a a$$ and be on this guys shoulder the whole time, some installers don't like that.
