I have WildBlue Satellite. I've had it for almost 3 years. I got locked into a 2 yr. contract and tried to get out of it but didn't want to pay the early termination fees. So I stuck it out. The only service call I had to get was one to re-mount the dish after the tornado took the shingles off our roof. The roofers had to remove the dish to put a new roof on. Service man had to re-align the dish for re-connection. The sweet spot is very small and impossible to hit without the special tools. The service was crap in the beginning, but has improved vastly on my beam anyway. I still want an alternative, but so far haven't been able to switch. I pay $73.21 / month for 1 mbps. down and 200 kbps. up. the monthly limit is 12,000 mb. down and 3000 mb. up. This the middle package. The Wildblue company was bought out by another provider and the service got a lot better after that. But there is still the latency to deal with. I got used to it. I went back to dial-up for a bit thinking I was paying too much for this service. Thinking I was getting something about as fast as dial-up. But I was wrong there. Dial-up is still way slower than this satellite connection. I just don't have any other choice right now, or I would switch. I made it through the contract period and just pay by the month now. The equipment has never failed, and have good Customer Service within the United States to talk to when I pay my bill every month.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
