Does anyone have WildBlue yet?

[bsilvertab]

I am wondering if anyone actually has the service yet. Does anyone know how it proforms compared to Directway or Starband? Ping times? Latency? Speed tests?

Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken, the Expo's internet cafe's access will be provided by Wildblue, via Satelliteguys.

15 second Latency

15 seconds? That sounds way way way too high. Don't you mean 1.5 seconds or something like that?

I tested using toast.net and I had 842kb download and 107 kbps upload. I have the 512 kb package, usually I average 522.
