Here in BC rural, we were formerly with a company that leased space from Telus. The service was poor, the equipment old, and worst of all, the speed way below that promised. Also if you went over your allowed MB's they throttled back a full month (and then forgot to upgrade it again at the end of the month!)
Galaxy, however, which we recently contracted for for $99 for the 3 year contract) treated us with respect and patience. The installer was great, efficient, and worked carefully and properly. ($100 installation charge because he had mileage to account for).
The monthly payments for $69.99 are only $10 more than our previous service.
We have some free time for downloads in the night hours. If you go over your allotment on any day, you are throttled back for that day only, and then it seems right back to normal. Also you can track this on their website.
We are networked in our home....works fine. Galaxy provides email.
All in all, we are pleased with this satellite service.
I think people would be wise, however, to get references for their installer, and hopefully everything in writing. Read your contract carefully.
I have given only 3 stars simply because this is a new service and needs to have a longer track record with us. read more
