<title>700Mb in four hours?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20792904</link>
<description><![CDATA[My son just came in to tell me there was a 700Mb jump within the last four hours after checking his WB account.  He also got a FAP abuse notice (reached 83% of 17,000).  Nothing has been done by any of us to cause this much of a download!  

My son is on the Pro package and the provider for three computers.  He has the router.  I have been offline for most of the day and my daughter has only been playing some simple Neopets games after she went online five hours ago. Or a strictly "refresh" paging with another simple game.  But nothing huge has been downloaded to warrant such a huge spike.  

It has been very muggy the last few days because our Monsoon. Sometimes thick clouds and rain that had disconnected our signal.... but not today. Living in Arizona near Parker on the Colorado River, I checked our beam and finally figured we are on the Seattle one (thought we were on the Riverside or Cheyenne)

So what gives?  Another one of those WB "phantom spike"? Or what?  Since WB uses a rolling FAP, nothing this huge, (whether singleally or together) was downloaded 30 days ago to show up now either.  

My son was on the middle package until a few weeks ago, because of a similar series of spikes that caused WB to send him a FAP abuse letter.  He switched to the highest after talking to them last time about a similar happening.

<title>People Quitting WildBlue Beware</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20847385</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was a customer of WildBlue's for 2 1/2 years. You can read my other posts as to why I quit.

I am here to warn you all. WildBlue charged me an early termination fee for $552.00 about 2 months after I canceled my service!

Since I am no longer a customer of theirs and I had no contract, they had no legal right to have my credit card information on file anymore.

They refuse to give me anything in writing that I will be getting a refund and only will give me confirmation numbers of the conversations I have with them. They promised my refund will be expedited and that someone will be calling me from the billing dept by Thursday. Well guess what.. IT'S FRIDAY!!!

WildBlue is holding all the cards until I get to my bank to dispute the charges. I am now calling the NYS Attorney Generals Office.

Anyone that quits WildBlue should change out their credit card number immediately afterward or report it stolen so it gets canceled.]]></description>

<title>Wildblue Cancellation Experience</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20446454</link>
<description><![CDATA[Last June I had Wildblue.net installed as my only option at the time was Satellite or Dial-up. EVDO was coming into the area but Verizon was to limited and not actually live with REV A yet.

Luckily, as it turns out I only had a one-year contract (which expires June 4/2008) and I pay a month in advance.

1. I called 1-866-WILDBLUE (1-866-945-3258) today at 3pm EST
2. Went through the menu system 3 - 3 - 1
3. Promptly answered call by a very nice lady. Amanda.
4. Asked why I was canceling. My response was because I now had access to SPRINT EVDO and I preferred a less latency connection.
5. She offered $25 off an extra month service to compare to my new EVDO side-by-side, but I declined as I have already tested it to my satisfaction.
6. She went away a few minutes to check things and get a confirmation number. 
7. 5 minutes later, she returned and gave me the number and said I was all set. 
8. I asked about the equipment, and it turns out I purchased it outright from the beginning so I am free to keep, or resell to a local dealer, or other user. 

Total time: 11 minutes

I must admit I was amazed at how prompt, easy, and painless that was.

Thanks Wildblue ..  :)]]></description>

<title>Problem with Linksys router connection</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20836696</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok, I need some help and no one at Linksys can help me, so I'm thinking it has to do with my wildblue modem.  I bought a linksys wireless router.  I hooked it up to my modem and it did not work.  All the lights work on the router but it says "no internet connection."  I have internet when I plug directly into my computer from the modem.  So I bought a new router, thinking it was a cheaper linksys and something might be wrong with it.  Well, when I plugged the new router in last night, it says "router cannot be detected, please be sure it's properly connected." And it is.  Like I said, internet works fine from modem to computer, but does not work when trying to use a router.  I want the router so I can use wireless and have 2 computers plugged in.  HELP!]]></description>

<title>LimeWire trouble w/ WildBlue</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20843761</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have not been able to connect to the Gnutella network 
using LimeWire. I have tried all the tips and tricks listed
on the LimeWire website w/ no success. Decided to try to
setting up a static ip address  but can only get 1 DNS address when I look at ipconfig/all, and i know I need 2.
WB was less than helpful when contacted-as I knew they would be- saying only "we don't support static ip's or P2P programs" Can anyone help? I'm including some sys info.

1. OS version? Vista Home Premium w/ Admin access
2. What firewalls you have? Windows-off and McAfee (temporarily disabled McAfee-no success on LW connection)
3. How much ram? 3062 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 200 GB
5. Connection type? Satellite modem
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? LinkSys WRT310N
7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.8.1 - Java 1.6.0-oem
9. Who is your ISP? WildBlue
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Got msg "your test worked"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No sharing or other p2p programs
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try on WildBlue
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? No
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up? UPnP enabled - tried setting up port forwarding-ran into prob w/ having only 1 DNS
15. What security programs are you using? McAfee Internet suite
16. What country are you living in? USA

I set up our home network, I am a satellite broadband installer, and I have 20+ years exp. w/ computers- which makes this bloody problem all the more frustrating. ]]></description>

<title>latency issues</title>

<description><![CDATA[I was wondering if latency is supposed to be THIS big of a problem.  I am trying to play World of Warcraft and my latency is often 2000ms+.  I was wondering if there was a way to fix this or if its just impossible to play WoW.]]></description>

<title>Possible Modem Problems 3 Days After Install</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20818783</link>
<description><![CDATA[No DSL, etc in my area so I signed up for WildBlue. For the first 3 days after installation, everything was fine. I really enjoyed the (short-lived) service. Then when I fired up my computer on day 4 - no connectivity.  The lights on the modem all work like they should, and show that everything's fine.  However, the modem won't issue a network address to any computer that I hook up to it (I've tried 4 different ones). I've followed the modem reboot, computer reboot procedures to the letter.  WildBlue Tech Service was useless and neither they, nor myself, have been able to get the installer to come back (nearly a week later). In the meantime, I've tried several new ethernet cords and even installed a new NIC.  No good.  I then flattened an OS on one computer to get a baseline.  No good. Has anyone run into this type of problem? Does this sound like a bad modem, or could there be other things I've missed? ]]></description>

<title>Help with setting up MS Outlook Exchange?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20836722</link>
<description><![CDATA[My company just migrated from Lotus to Outlook. (yes, I know ......)  My IT dept gnashes their teeth when they get to me (and my ISP).  I have VPNed into to Exchange Server and it's TRYING to send me mail, but the send / receive status just hangs up.  And I can't SEND anything.  My regular POP server worked just fine with my personal mail, but I am scratching my head with the Exhange server.  

I see an option in the settings to get it to fetch from http mail, but it's just not going there...  It insists on logging into the VPN.

Any ideas?  I'm new to VPNs and Exchange and Satellite.  I've read a couple of instances where WB uses have plugged into exchange just fine so I presume it's possible.  It's hard to get my IT dept to think outside of the box with me and my circumstances.

TIA,
V]]></description>
