One of the big questions people have about Wildblue Satellite Internet is ‘How long will it take to install and get it running?” Wildblue has said from the start that time to install is a matter of a few hours for most standard installations. Folks who’ve dealt with other satellite dish installations were skeptical, but a look at the various satellite user forums bear out Wildblue’s time frame.

Most people using a standard wall or roof mount installation report that it has taken less than four hours from the time the installer pulled into the driveway till they were surfing the net happily. What can you do to make sure that your install goes that quickly and easily?
