DSL Dreams Come True
Having become fed up with only a dial-up connection, I decided to scope out the market once again, as previously a local dish installer had been advertising WildBlue in the local newspaper, a satellite internet provider recently becoming available in my area. Yippee! I thought, finally competition in this area against Price County Telephone Company, of which at the time was charging $50/month for 128kb for DSL whereas WildBlue would be 512kb for the same price. Although the entire installation of WildBlue would cost roughly $250, this seemed like a godsend as I was not about to let that cashcow of a telephone company suck me dry for a pathetic DSL connection until...
I looked up reviews on WildBlue as an internet service provider, and was immediately disappointed in what I had read and continued to read. It was at that moment I decided to disconnect from my pitiful dial-up connection and give our cashcow telephone company a call, and found out they had significantly raised their internet connection speeds and decreased their prices dramatically - 512kb for $40 & 1.5MB for $50 (minimal start-up costs and no contracts)! Needless to say I signed up immediately. So I am finally, finally getting DSL! However of course, as typical of our cashcow telephone company, will not be able to configure my line until the 27th, because practically all of the office is going on vacation this week. I don't mind, but they better not charge me for a half a month of DSL because of it!
