| WildBlue announced that it has begun offering high-speed Internet via satellite service in Port Orchard. The firm serves homes and small businesses not currently served, or underserved, by other high speed providers.
WildBlue launched commercial service via the Anik F2 satellite in June of 2005, and currently has over 200,000 customers nationwide.
According to a press release, the company claims to offer fast, reliable service in three service packages to consumers across the contiguous U.S. for as little as $49.95 per month. It claims download speeds of up to 1.5Mbps, —competitive with other high-speed services available.
All packages include Internet Service Provider (ISP) services such as e-mail and Web space, plus the WildBlue Portal (featuring the latest news, information and entertainment), customer care, and an equipment warranty.
“WildBlue is eager to offer its high-speed Internet via satellite service to consumers in Port Orchard who have been waiting for an alternative to dial-up,” said Stephanie Lovett, WildBlue’s Director of Marketing. The always-on connection provides high-speed data in both directions without needing an additional phone or cable line. Visit www.wildblue.com for information on local dealers. |
