    Flex Pack total cost, discussion

    Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I had looked a little and saw that beforehand. I kind of figured before I looked it would have anyway since it's January.... Thank you, I am pretty sure that's the way I'd go then. Haven't been following Dish features for a while and hadn't seen...

    Flex Pack total cost, discussion

    I am wondering if I could get a breakdown of total cost for Flex Pack, with DVR and locals, one receiver only, then possibly the cost to add a second (but probably wouldn't do that). Just a rough estimation, I'm in Nebr. I did a search and didn't see anything recent, probably missed it...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    Yeah I did, kind of wish I would have never mentioned 5 meg though.:) Ignore that part and I guess I can easily understand the rest though. I see 5 meg service and I automatically equate it to Exede, I know that others wouldn't, that's just what I do and I don't think about it. Just saying...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    You rest your case?? That's what I said?? I guess I don't know why you started arguing with what I said in the first place. I never said people with old equipment could get Exede service. I was not comparing the 5 meg service (which is Exede, obviously, sorry for not stating the name...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    ...umm yeah, I know very well what's going on, new equipment is required very obviously (I've said that before...). The discussion veered off topic as topics do to include "up to" package pricing, so I merely reported what we currently get as customers on the existing packages, to show that...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    That's the way it's been for years. I have up to 512Kbps. The last couple years, below 200Kbps is common during the evening, sometimes below 100. Downloads sometimes go below dialup speed (not FAPPED). Not to mention pages timing out or it flat out not working. And there isn't anything...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    One more thing. Why is this being compared to -mobile- internet and phone plans? This is -fixed- home internet, not subject to the convenience factor and price premium of a mobile product. Home internet plans and landline phone service would be a better comparison. Perhaps somewhere in...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    23% less data on the entry level plan, plus increase in lease fee (those that own the equipment with no lease fee, $10 increase in price). To add 2GB of data to be close to the current level, $16 increase on top of that. So for me to “upgrade” to the new service and be at ~close to the same...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    I always wonder why it is when consumers complain about the price and performance of a product, that those that sell the product argue that the product is "good enough", when they don't use it themselves, especially. No one is complaining about the speed offered, they are complaining about the...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    With the cell service, like I said, depends where you live. Here there is no congestion on the areas that are served in the bigger town that's 30 miles away. The new tower is going up outside a village that has somewhere a little over 200 people, and outside of town houses are far apart (my...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    Here's a forum you can read. Millenicom forum | DSLReports.com, ISP Information Just Google the name to find their site or research. Depends where you are on how good their service is the way it looks. And they use either Sprint or Verizon, so the plans vary on that. Sprint lets you bring...

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    I've been a customer about 6 years. I own my own equipment, and pay ~$50 per month. For more than 90% of that time, I averaged close to, below or above 7GB average FAP download usage. With that amount of usage and absolutely no actual uploading of any kind (no file backup, emailing/uploading...

    $14 off per month 2nd 12 months if you have good credit

    One of the Google ads that shows up on this site leads to the page below, showing the $14 off for the second year. I don't know if you click through and put in your zipcode if it reflects the discount or not if you are in an eligible area. I might be calling in to find out one of these days...

    Upgrading Dish after 12 years.

    I was offered the 922 at $200 (non-negotiable), waived the broadband requirement, offered $10 off for 12 months, and free installation for the dish and receiver. “Very best deal we can offer”, not too bad. Now here's what I'm looking at, like I said, goal is HD and DVR on two TVs (eventually...

    Upgrading Dish after 12 years.

    In negotiations, not much yet. I'll point out with the spam thing, I could see filing away email in personal life. But when a person fills in an online form, with name, account number, phone number on the account, and email address on the account, and it all matches up, I feel it should bypass...
