I’m at 40th and Plum.

Options:  
Avg. 40K dial-up on old wires with lots of problems.  
Wild blue.

We went Wildblue after a year of looking at Hugh’s systems at peoples houses and Wildblue at peoples houses. We took the pro pack because we have 2 computers on at the same time for about 6 - hours a day.

No huge downloads but we are pretty steady in running them one after the other.

Good service so far. About a year.
