WildBlue New Service Launch - Please Post Speed Test Reports Here

[AlanRT]

As WB initiates their launch of their new satellite Internet service plans over the next few months, I'm sure many of us would be interested to read speed test results from real-world customers who subscribe to the new service plans, especially on ViaSat 1. Please post your results and impressions here in this thread. Be sure to answer the following:

1. What are your up and down speeds?
2. Where are you located?
3. When was your service installed or upgraded?
4. What service plan do you have?
5. Are you able to use VoIP over the service?
6. Are you able to use any video streaming services (NetFlix, Hulu, others)

They are past the speed issue now (even beat the cable companies around here for upload speed). They just need to get the caps raised up.
