Re: Truth Hurts

Another option for rural communities that fewer people know about is SkyWay USA. I have heard a lot of people complain about Wild Blue and Hughes Net being so expensive. SkyWay USA is not that way. They offer their base service plan at only $29.95 per month and equipment only costs $49! That results in a huge saving overall per year. Also SkyWay only requires a one year service agreement rather than a two year service agreement with Wild Blue and HughesNet. Another advantage SkyWay has over these competitors is that their internet will not go out during a huge rain storm, ice or snow storm, or even heavy cloud cover. If you all live in rural communities, you should check out their services.

Re: Truth Hurts

You're neglecting to mention that according to the Skyway website, "SkyWay USA requires dial-up access to the Internet."

So it's cheaper, but you tie up your phone line to use it. However, "Nationwide Dial-Up Internet Access -- Included" at least they're nice enough to include the dialup you'll be needing. Too bad it probably entails long distance charges...

Still, it is worth a look for those with the need for the most basic of access.

Re: Truth Hurts

You are correct that it does require dial up, which is stated on the website. However, it does not entail long distance charges. They make sure that you have a local dial-up access number in your area before they allow you to sign up. Making sure that a local access number is available to each customer they sign up is a number one priority in their sales process.
