I have to concur. Based on my personal experience, and those that live all around us, you would be better off going with dialup over satellite internet. I had to sign a 3-year contract with them, and after 1.5 years, they offered me a modem/technology upgrade for no charge as long as I signed another 3-year contract. They had to come out to our property every 5 months to re-align the dish when I complained our speeds would drop below dialup speeds. Our dish was right next to the DirecTV dish, and the DirecTV dish NEVER needed re-alignment the entire time we had the internet service. The straw that broke the camel's back was when they "arbitrarily" decided to change the FAP (Fair Access Policy) with little warning amid our current contract. Fortunately, a cable company had done a survey several months prior to the end of our satellite contract, and installed cable lines. So, a week before my contract expired, I had them turn on the cable internet, and once the satellite contract expired, I quickly cancelled the service. When they asked how they could keep me as a customer, I requested that I be grandfathered into the old FAP policy, and, without a pause, told me that it was not possible and to have a "nice day".
