Dog breeding is a competitive business, which means the dog breeder must stay on top of the game.  This means knowing what competitors are doing, working with the best studs, having access to all types of information, being able to research, and so on.  In addition, you find many dog breeders in remote areas where they have room for the dogs to live and grow in a healthy environment.  However, because of the remote location, a problem arises in the form of internet service. 

If you are or have considered becoming a dog breeder, you need to do all you can to understand the business.  One of the most important tools you can use is the internet.  However, if you live in a location where internet access is non-existent, unreliable, or expensive, then WildBlue internet service is the answer.  This particular system is different from traditional DSL in that a special satellite built by Boeing is used to keep you online, all the time. 

This service is not only advanced, meaning you can gain access to any internet site needed, it is also affordable.  With this advantage, you can grow your dog breeding business without the added expense.  To stay on top, you can create a wonderful website, upload photographs, and information about the dogs you breed, and then send the message out to the world, flawlessly, reliably, and conveniently.  Wild Blue understands the importance of having access to information, which is why this satellite system was designed.  The results have been incredible. 

The process of getting you set up with your own Wild Blue service typically takes between two and three hours.  Then, the satellite links to your personal computer then to the internet, at incredibly fast speeds.  In fact, if you live in a rural location, chances are you have been limping by with the old-fashioned dial up system.  In comparison, Wild Blue satellite runs up to 30 times faster, keeping you online all the time.  Using a 26 or 28-inch satellite that affixes to the house or ground, you will have your dog breeding service up and running in no time. 

As you can imagine, using Wild Blue means better advertising for the breeds you offer.  As more and more people become aware of what you have to offer, your reputation will grow.  Best of all, the bottom line will begin to climb.  With just a satellite and small modem, you will have your dog breeding business on line in no time.  Should a customer ask for a photograph of a particular dog, you could comply with an uploaded photo in minutes!  That type of customer response is what sets you apart from other dog breeders. 

Other benefits of using Wild Blue satellite service for your dog breeding business include the research aspect.  You can look at other breeder sites to see the price they are offering, track down bloodlines of various dogs, locate dog shows or breeder conventions, and simply connect with other dog breeders, providing you the opportunity to expand your knowledge.  By allowing Wild Blue to help you access the internet quickly and reliably, you gain the advantage.  However, considering that Wildblue satellite is so affordable and easy to use, you get the best of all worlds.

Sky Retailer reports, They like it, they really really like it – WildBlue that is, and the service that the satellite broadband company provides its subscribers. In a recent customer survey, WildBlue was given an A by the consumers who pay for its internet service.

According to the company, 94 percent of it’s subscribers were either ’satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with their high speed internet via satellite service. As part of the 94 percent overall satisfaction rate, the company received excellent scores for installation quality, reliability, download and upload speeds and customer care.

WildBlue conducted this customer satisfaction review in mid-November with independent research firms Aspen Media and Market Research and Highline Research Group. Tom Burkhart, senior VP of Highline Research Group, said WildBlue received one of the highest satisfaction levels that the market research company has ever recorded.  In addition, WildBlue’s customer survey showed that nine out of 10 respondents would recommend the company’s broadband internet service to a friend or neighbor.

WildBlue is constantly focused on customer service.  As a matter of fact WildBlue has invested in technology that gives them the ability to look at a customers signal quality history. This adds a new level to customer service. Installers will no longer be able to leave the job with a week signal. When the installer closes out a job, the customer service representative will verify (in real time) that the satellite signal is at an acceptable level. This will not only protect the customer, but it will also protect the installer. Imagine, a customer calls in with a problem 3 months after installation, the service representative looks at the customers signal history and sees that it has been very strong up until just recently. This tells us that the installer had a strong signal locked in but something has most likely moved the dish off course. A basketball, a tornado, a cow (cows always leave evidence at the crime scene, just look for the hairs on the back of the dish).

I’m sure there are hundreds of other situations where signal history is going to help provide better customer service.

I read a great wildblue customer review today in a satellite internet chat forum. The new customer was very happy with the installation. He said that the wildblue installer did a great job, grounded the system correctly and even threw in some advice on how to get the most speed out of my internet connection. His new service is very fast in comparison to dial-up. He is now surfing at 1.5 down and 512 up. He also said that he had just turned off his Hughesnet service to get wildblue. 

Wildblue is a very powerful satellite internet system when installed properly.

One very important part of the installation is a solid mount. Unlike your average DBS dish, the wildblue system needs to be locked directly on the satellite with a very small margin of error.

One way that you can help your installer is to provide them with a solid surface for mounting. A good solid mount will give you years of great service.

Other factors you need to consider when choosing the location for your dish:

• Locate dish out of children’s reach.
• Keep dish 20 feet away from any power lines.
• You will need a clear shot of the southern sky.
• No more than 100ft feed from the modem.
• A good ground source near by.

As you can see, where the dish gets mounted has many technical factors. Please allow the Wildblue installer to give you a few suggestions before making your decision.  WildBlue is very good at making sure you are happy with your install.  Following are only a few of the things WildBlue requires of its installers.

• Every Wildblue installation must be completed by a
  certified installer.
• To become certified, installers are required to pass 5
  very difficult and very technical tests. The last test is after a full day of
  hands on training.
• In all areas, Wildblue has quality control staff
  constantly looking at new installations.
• They enforce a strict 3 strikes your out rule.

1.    The first time an installer messes up they are warned
and walked through the mistakes at the customer’s home.

2.    The second time the installer messes up they are
required to take the 4 tests over again and pay the $200 training fee once
again.

3.    The third time is it. The installer will lose there
certification.

• Wildblue has also placed a hold on nationwide sales
  companies. They are first developing local NRTC members and retailers that will install what they sell.

Over all, Wildblue has been taking slow and steady steps while building a company on a strong foundation. In 6 to 8 months everything will be in place to open the floodgates for some awesome growth.
