Re: Skyway USA or WildBlue?

I have both Skyway and Wildblue. The skyway was so horrible I ended up giving it to a relative to serve out the term of the contract. Without question, Wildblue is the clear choice.

Skyway suffers from horrible performance during peak time, often times actually slower than dialup. (Not quite sure how that is accomplished.)

Wildblue's biggest problem has been poor equipment. (I've been through 3 trias and 2 modems) But I always get my 1500kbps, latency is always high at 1400ish ms...
