Refer a friend! For each new WildBlue customer that results from your referral, you will receive a free month of service. Upon enrollment, each new WildBlue customer will be asked if he or she was referred by anyone. The new customer must provide us with your name—so be sure that the person you refer knows who you are!

You won't have to worry about line of sight! WildBlue's key value is offering broadband Internet service to virtually every community across the United States.
