| Traded in WB Alltel Axcess came through for me last year and I was finally able to hang my WB satellite in the garage.
Don't get me wrong -- they were much better than dialup. Compared to many users I had reliable service, a great install (Thank you, Waldron) and in 2+ years only had to have the dish repointed once. It was the 7.5GB FAP/cap that made me bang my head into the wall. When I signed the contract it started with 10G, but then they lopped 25% off all tiers and did NOT reduce the price. With two teenagers in the house plus a husband who's an adjunct professor, keeping below the cap and watching the FAP-O-Meter was a full time job for me. The nag list included, "pick up your socks, put your glass in the dishwasher, unplug the modem before you go to bed and NO You Tube until next week!"
If Uncle Sam really wants to help out we in rural areas they need to develop wifi, WiMax and encourage new technology rather than kill us with caps. Alltel is working out fine at the moment but when our unlimited contract expires in 18 months I'm going to be left to the mercy of Verizon. If they stick me with a 5G cap I'm in trouble. |
