    I am a GOLD level subscriber at $70.00/month... Wildblue is turning out to be a joke. Their FAP (Fair Access Policy) is something which a potential subscriber should be aware of. They (WB) only provide a cheesy "gadget" for monitoring usage and it covers the most recent 30 days so the subscriber only sees a cumulative value and not a daily usage. I am currently in a dispute with them over some usage amounts. Thus far they have refused to provide me details of the usage. My wireless phone provider gives me a daily breakdown of calls and minutes used.

    All this to say... let the buyer beware... I would definitely NOT be a Wildblue customer if I had any other option. In fact, they have ticked me off so much recently that I am seriously considering going back to dial-up

    usage.....

    I dont know about you, but some of my programs update automatically. In using wireless, reduced bandwidth is noticable. I couldnt for the life of me understand why my speeds were so slow. After a while I called it quits and began signing off my computer and low and behold!!!! A six part update to windows!!!! Just about everything I use updates (real audio, windows, adobe, etc etc) which hogs precious bandwidth if what you have is limited and adds to your total consumption which you werent planning on. Again, I dont know if this is what happened to you, Im just sharing with you my experience on what ate up bandwith and used a lot of megs of data x-fer.
