Thanks for all the info!! So, in your opinion, does it seem that your connection to the Net for surfing would pretty much NEVER have a problem? As long as you didn't try to email or download you could stay on the net continually without interruption? Or are there glitches there, too?

I know it's hard to get a salesperson to level with you about potential problems so I'd love to hear from someone actually using this.

Thanks again for all your help, Michael.

So how often have you been down? Can you get quotes during a major thunderstorm, etc. etc.? Are you missing data when you add up individual quotes?

Why USSB may be a great buy:

1. USSB has a market value of about $450 per customer while most cable companies are valued at about $1,800 per customer.

2. The growth rate of USSB is projected to be 40% per year during the next five years.

3. HBO will be broadcasting in HDTV this summer and DirecTv and USSB are getting equipped to broadcast in HDTV. The DirecTv/USSB partnership keeps costs reasonable for USSB while, at the same time, they can piggyback on DirecTv marketing/sales.

4. Premium and PPV programming are the most profitable sides of DBS services.

The whole key is developing a large enough mass to achieve sustainable profitability. USSB has an excellent strategy and should develop into a tremendous money machine within two years.

Contrary opinions welcomed.....
