^^ya my friend has wild blue and said its slow as shit as well. They charge you more for being in a rural area. My friends facebook took like 5min to load literally. Also their F.A.P.(Fair Access Policy) is fuckin stupid and a joke. Most people dont know they limit bandwidth that can be sent per month. Here is the chart.
Value Pak Select Pak ProPak
Upload Threshold (MB) 1 2,300 3,000 5,000
Download Threshold (MB) 2 7,500 12,000 17,000
1 Upload Threshold is the volume of data that can be uploaded during the previous 30 days before the Fair Access Policy may restrict the user’s speeds.
2 Download Threshold is the volume of data that can be downloaded during the previous 30 days before the Fair Access Policy may restrict the user’s speeds.
You can read more on it here.

Also you guys failed to mention ATT U-Verse. If you got credit for it I would vote this number 1. One of my friends has it along with fiber internet and its pretty fast. The cable is crystal clear as well.
