Review Icon BooniesRon reviewed Hughesnet in Satellite Internet Access Providers:
Dish Network Satellite has been one of the most dissapointing decisions I have EVER made. We live in Northern Michigan, out in the boonies (our driveway is 1 mile long, so Cable is out of the question). We started with their cheapest package. 5 Gb data download and 1 Gb upload. From day 1 the speed has been s l o w. Speedtest.net, etc., etc. have ALL regularly said .6 to .7 Mb Download & .022 to .044 Mb Upload speeds. But, we ALWAYS managed to use up our entire monthly data allowance of 5 Gb by the second week of each billing period (and then, we got throttled back to even slower down/up speeds). Each tech (there have been MANY here) initially blamed my wireless laptop & the router. So we bought a new router (Netgear N600) & a new Cisco USB 2.0 wireless adapter for the laptop. CHANGED NOTHING (BTW if we Direct wire connect via RJ-45 to Dish's Satellite Modem also changes nothing. Still the biggest pig on the planet (I actually think dial-up is faster). Out of desperation, we upgraded to Dish's next better package (10 Gb download and 5 Gb upload). Still the same old crappy, slow internet access speeds, but somehow "Magically" we are now using much less than 1.5 Gb of data for each entire monthly billing period - curious eh? Last month we visited my brother & connected our laptop to his wireless network. Speedtest.net reported that we were getting 66 Mb dpwnload and 15 Mb upload speed. Same thing when we visited my wife's brother. Dish has now informed us that Speedtest.net throughput results are "invalid" and that we have to use Hughsnet Speedtest for any new throughput analysis figures. Hughsnet numbers are extremely high (magically though, they are the EXACT same numbers that we are paying Dish for). The Speedtest numbers still remain turtle slow (as do our web page display times). COOL EH? Hughsnet tells us that we are getting what we are paying for from Hughsnet. Anyone out there besides us feel that Dish's numbers might be "fudged".
Buy this service and B O H I C A FOLKS.

Review Icon PogoStick reviewed Comcast in Cable Internet Access Providers:
First, I refer to this company only as 'COMASS'. If I still paid the bill with checks, that's what I would right on the 'Pay to' line.

For so long they have gauged prices, increased their revenue in sneaky ways and bullied any other company or entity that challenges them. They have a HUGE lobby in D.C.

I currently have their 'digital starter' and basic internet. $105 per month. I once downgraded my cable to just basic TV. They STILL called it 'Cable'. And they raised the rate of my internet because I'd downgraded my cable.

I've been told I should call them when my bill has gotten too high and they'd likely negotiate with me. Why do they not do that up front. Why should I have to call for a lower rate?

And I wish someone would do an extensive investigation about it being a possible monopoly. I don't understand how they cannot be, but they've obviously constructed their business dealings and structure to meet the legal requirements of being a non-monopoly. Where I currently live, they are the ONLY TV service available They have made it difficult for other cable companies to be additional options.

Review Icon dave41258 reviewed WildBlue in Satellite Internet Access Providers:
I have been with Wildblue for 2 ½ years. I’ve hated every minute of it. I knew nothing about satellite internet. I told them I wanted high speed, and unlimited service. They said ok, so I let them hook it up. I noticed right away the service was slow. I called and complained and they said everything was working fine and it was my computer.
Later that month I got shut completely off for too much uploading. Got back on the phone and that was when I found out the service was limited, now I was really pissed. Took my computer to a repair man, he went through my computer and shut down all programs that would upload in the back ground. Paid the man and brought my computer home and hooked it up. Called wildblue, told them what I did and they excused the usage and turn everything back on. Still wouldn’t work. I called customer support and they couldn’t fine anything wrong. They told me to take my computer in to get it looked at. I took it back in to the shop and, the man at the shop said everything is working fine. Paid the man again and took it back home and hooked it up. Still not working, so I called them and told them what I found out and they pretty much blamed it on my computer. Frustrated I went to bed and the next morning the system started working all by itself.
Now at the 2 year mark, called about something, I don’t remember, but I complained about the speed again. I told them I measured the download speed at .33mps. They looked at my account and told me for 5 dollars more a month, I could get 10mps, but I’d have to sign a new 2 year contract. After complaining numerous times about the speed, why didn’t they tell me this 2 years ago? When I move, which is soon. I’m never using Wildblue again. I don’t recommend Wildblue to anyone

Information about IT outsourcing given over in the links are quite clear. This seems to be a great business networking event. Hope Start up companies, SMEs/ SMBs can get the most out of it.

Review Icon Feladen reviewed Comcast in Cable Internet Access Providers:
For a total of 10 months I tried to get Comcast techs to come to my house and look at my incoming lines. All but one tech flat out refused to go outside the house. The one that did go outside told me my neighborhoods overhead lines needed to be repaired and they'd put a call in. Nothing was ever fixed.

I had received a TV for Christmas from my in-laws. I was on my way out the door to buy a TV with a better picture the day a directv rep came to my house. We decided to make the switch. Two days later they did the hookups. Turns out my TV is a fairly nice TV it just had a crappy signal from Comcast.

Review Icon Raincoat6102 reviewed Comcast in Cable Internet Access Providers:
This company is the worst cable company on earth. They should be investigated for their billing practices! I am 100% sure that there are some illegal practices going on.They cant explain the charges,theres allways a ten to twenty dollar difference in the billing amount that cant be explained. The employees are trained to lie!!!There are so many complaints that it will take me hours to write them all down. Point is,they are horrible!!! and should be shut down!!! Everyone that subscribes has the same complaints. Hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,h ate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate,hate, hate the company practices not the people!!!!!!! And I will be praying on a daily for this company to be shut down!!!!!!!!! You get no stars! How about a picture of satan as an option.

Review Icon carybow72 reviewed Comcast in Cable Internet Access Providers:
I was a customer of comcast for about four years. They were the only option in the area where I lived besides satellite tv and I wish I had gone with satellite. I didn't find the service to be particularly great. A lot of the channels that should have been a part of my basic package weren't. I went for an upgrade and I was told three different prices and promotions from three different agents. In the end I would up dissatisfied wih what I had and I felt that Comcast didn't care. After I ended my service, I tried to return the equipment and I was told to place it in a drop bin. A month later I got a bill for the unreturned equipment. It took me two hours to straighten out the issue. I think miscommunication is a big problem at Comcast. Unhappy customer.
