take what I can get

You don't have to live in the middle of nowhere to not be able to get decent broadband. I'm one street way, 1300 ft too far for DSL. Cable runs 100 yards from my house, but they refuse to run service down my street. A local fixed wireless ISP should be expanding service for me to get that. I'm going to try to see if I can get EVDO, but I doubt it. Until then, it's Wildblue. Wildblue actually use to be pretty decent until they went with DAMA traffic shaping. If you looked at the reviews, people were rather happy with the service. Now, they are on par with Hughs, if not worst.
