Having Problems With Wild Blue Internet here is some advice.

Wild Blue says that their system won't get a good signal in the rain unless you do a little fine tuning of the dish... They failed to let me know this at the time of purchase so you will need a tool like this one???

satellites are 2500 miles out there and you are trying to hit them with a small dish. not sure why but I can set up a dish network dish in about 10 minutes and get a great signal every time I feel the internet must not be as good or as powerful .

@1art123 The reason being is the Wildblue system works off of a Ka band which is much narrower than your Ku band that your dish network dish runs off of. Narrow signal = harder to point.

I'm not able to get sattelite off dish network but t I use a verizon aircard which is mobile so I can take it on the road with me the only draw back is like 22imbored says it don't work good for him and I agree that it has it's places it won't work either and they only give you 5 gigs of usage I think my next shot will be still an aircard but unlimited ussage.

i have a verizon air card and it sucks.....ass. sure its better than wild blue, but there's a lot of better stuff out there. too bad none of it is available to me.

I had to put in a repeater to get it to work as good as is working now the one good thing is I travel a bit and can take it on the road with me and wild blue you are just stuck. I did have some problems until I put in the repeater just depends on where you are and where the cell tower is good luck.

@jm2112 see heres the problem with our country. you need a job but theres basiclly exploitation built into the job. you have to lie to the customer, screw the coworkers and steal from the boss all without making yourself look bad. i have known many a homeless person who is both unwilling and unable to do this. otherwise they are normal thoughtfull people. some have managed to find a room to rent  nevermind all the many homeless people who are wack jobs for various reasons. im just sayin...

L0L they told my family it was "high speed" *cough* as much internet as we need to use it stays at 0% and goes like 43.5 mbps (Thumbs Up)!

I would like to use that tool on the CEO's head

I have the VirginMobile MIFI card and that card is awesome! I even play COD black ops online with the PS3. I get good enouf signal to have my avatars signal strength stay in the orange, which is not bad for a small device that fits in you pocket.

@velasco581 No see, you gotta look real close at the dish when he does it, the sledge hammer acts as a tension breaking system to unlock the bolts that connect it to the house, then you can point it in whatever direction you need to and then do what crazy88boss said. that way there will be better signal and no FAP. If you don't have a sledge hammer you could always just use a shovel. ;D

[crazy88boss]

@Taurus702B That "dumb hillbilly" probably doesn't live in an area that is accessible by the cable companies, much like myself. The landscape does not allow for the installation of cable lines in a lot of places. Satellite Internet is all we can get or we are stuck with dial-up. Please tone down the ignorance before your mouth utters something your brain knows nothing about, 'kay?

[crazy88boss]

You forgot the final step: You have to set it on fire in order to be immune to the Fair Acess Policy. (Thumbs up video)

[velasco581]

Okay, so wait, loosen the bolts first and then the sledgehammer? Or does the sledgehammer/satellite pointer double as a nut and bolt breaker?

@cachapma99 Thank you.. I was gonna call him out on that too.

I used to sell WildBlue over the phone, and in every activation I felt that this would always be the customer's reaction.
