Re: Skyway USA or WildBlue?

If your local dialup/phone line is reliable and you don't need any upload speed to speak of, skyway might be a good deal for you.

I had wildblue for 2.5 years and could count on it being online any time I needed to use the system except during the (unannounced) 1-4 a.m. maintenance window every couple of or few months. Overall I'd consider the wildblue system stability very good to excellent. The latency was always bothersome but the raw speeds were very close to advertised for downloading or uploading files, sending large emails, etc.
