They will have equipment down and not tell you unless you call to ask, no status system (suggest twitter). currently working great! http://www.speedtest.net/result/729895467.png The biggest problem we have had with Big Tube is their lack of communications.

I would say Big Tube is 10X better, even with their problems. I had Hughes for over 5 years and still have associated that use it because of no other solution… you will not enjoy it.

Wildblue has a 7.5gb monthly cap. Don't expect to do a lot of downloading or hulu watching on any of these.

At first i was very excited with the service. It was so much better then dial up. Then something happened. Everyone found out about the service, suddenly the service went to complete crap. I've had many days where dial up would run faster then the Big Tube. It is very inconsistent. Friday was sunny and warm with little clouds. You would think the internet be working great. Not the case. The only time it runs with any speed is around 1 am. We've finally had enough and are checking out Hughes net. 20 dollars more a month but i guess u get what u pay for.

I have no problem with the service, it's fast and reliable but I think they are expensive. I pay about $105 per month. I think installation 3 years ago may have been about $100.

I've been using them about 3 months, am currently on my second service outage, and download speeds vary from about 75-90k down to 10-15k, usually getting the poor speeds in the evening. I've been down since about 9 pm last night and waiting for a call back from Doug. I just put in requests for info from Air Advantage and BigTube, but am not getting my hopes up. Looks like it may soon be Hughes! I also live off Winslow N of Newark and am currently using qix.net.

I'm so tired of dialup I could gak coathangers. I even wrote a letter to the LA View but you get nothing in terms of WHY we still live in the stoneage here. Anyone know why we get no service here? Is it Charters fault or the townships or what? I live in Metamora and like the rest of you, Charter offers nothing to it’s Lapeer County customers. I’m so tired of dialup I could gak coathangers.

Nobody provides service except for hughes and big tube. Hughes is WAY too expensive and I'm waiting for Big Tube to do an upgrade to the backbone which might eliminate some of the problems. Never mind Charter, they don't offer digital or internet in this immediate area and don't want to spend the money to bring it out. Money-wise big tube still looks to be the best deal-no monthly rental fee and reasonable prices. we live off the corner of Fish lake and Burnside.
