WildBlue's broadband services will typically give you speeds of up to 1.5 Megabits per second (or 1,500Kbps) - - that's more than 25 times as fast as today's dial-up 56K modem. With 2-way streaming via satellite, speed is maximized both ways.
Downloading a picture on a Web site that might take 17 seconds on a dial-up service will take only 0.6 seconds with WildBlue Internet access. And a large text file that might take 5 minutes to download on a 56K connection will take only 12 seconds with WildBlue. That's fast!
