In looking for high speed service in my area, I was told that Wildblue would provide the fastest service.  I called to set up the order, was billed, and was told that they're installation team would contact me within 72 hours.  After not hearing from them for over 72 hours, I called and was told that they can't install in my area.  I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that my order was placed in a queue that might not be fulfilled for over 6 weeks, and that my only options were to cancel or wait.

I told them that I wanted to cancel and was told that I would be transferred with a hold time of about three minutes.  I waited for closer to ten minutes before I hung up and called again, choosing their cancellation option on their phone menu.  There was no estimated hold time given, and so I waited five minutes before calling again and choosing another option.

This time, I called through customer service again and was speaking to a live person in under 3 minutes.  When I spoke to the agent, telling her everything I just went through, she told me that she would go ahead and cancel my account and refund my card.  I asked her why the original supervisor didn't just cancel it instead of making me waste what was now close to 30 minutes of my time, and she apologized.  I told her to continue with the cancellation and to please let me speak to her supervisor.  I waited for an additional 10 minutes before hanging up.

Wanting to confirm that the cancellation was actually processed, I called again and chose billing.  I was on with a live person in about 2 minutes.  She confirmed that the cancellation was processed, had no information on availability.  Now, because I wanted to see if there was even a straight answer to get, she transferred me to sales, where a recording told me that it would be 4 to 6 weeks and to call back in JANUARY!  This is JUNE!  Four to six weeks from now would be July/August!  It's obvious that this is an ongoing issue with them and that they are using old recordings instead of staying up to date.

I need internet service now.  Wildblue promised a 3-day contact and service within 6 days, only to change it so that it would be at least two months, or if their recording was right, sometime in 2013.  Bad service, over-promise with NO delivery.
