- WildBlue received a "BBR Gold Award" from BroadbandReports.com for its satellite broadband service. WildBlue said it scored above an 80 percent satisfaction rating for more than six months on BroadbandReports.com to win the honor. WildBlue scored highest in "Install Coordination," "Connection Reliability," "Pre-Sales Information," and "Value for Money."
I concur on all fronts. My experience with WildBlue has been great. I was the first in my state, and one of the first live customers after the Beta having come online in July of 2005. The install had bugs up front since the wrong cable was used, but this was my installers first install and they all agreed not to charge me until I was up and running well. It took a few days to get it all straightened out, but it sure works well for me.
Some people will grip and moan about the fap and the changes to the fap, but I am fine with it since I get nowhere near the fap levels anyway. In my opinion, they deserve the honor!

They're both good, but with the improvements that have come along since Direcway became Hughes, I think next year will be a good race, especially as more people switch over to the 7000 series plans and modems.
