Re: I have Hughes, but am pondering changing. Someone help.

I don't have any experience with skyway (I need the upload speed of a 2-way system) but I've had wildblue since September of 2005. I consider it quite reliable, except for the ~4 a.m. gateway maintenance window every couple of months. Other than that, it's been rock solid and the speeds are 90-110% of advertised 90% of the time. The bad is that the latency can be bad for some things at ~1400 ms now with peaks into the 2000 ms zone; browsing is speedy though as http traffic seems to be prioritized.
