Tired of dial-up internet access but can't get high-speed service where you live? WildBlue may be for you.

WildBlue is a high-speed satellite internet service offered by the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative through a network of local cooperatives, including New Hampshire Electric Co-op (NHEC).

An always-on high-speed Internet connection, WildBlue's wireless service provides 2-way wireless high-speed data in both directions. Customers will not need an additional phone or cable line or the expense of a traditional dial-up ISP in order to receive high-speed Internet access. The service is easy to install, and requires no software installation on customers' computers.

WildBlue offers three basic service packages to consumers and small businesses: Value Pack - $49.95 per month for speeds up to 512 kbps; Select Pack - $69.95 per month for speeds up to 1.0 Mbps; and Pro Pack - $79.95 per month for speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. All packages include ISP services including email and web space, the WildBlue Portal, featuring the latest news, information and entertainment, customer care, and an equipment warranty. The cost of installation is $300.
