    B&T Satellite - Dish Team summit 2015 Phoenix AZ

    B&T Satellite

    (21 reviews)

    I didn't call the 1-800 number…read more I called B&T because we were moving, and I needed my Dish service relocated to our place 15 minutes outside of Redding, and I adhere to the whole "use the local guys" ethos. I was also shopping for internet service--I'd experienced the dismal performance of Frontier DSL and had struck out on fixed-wireless radio internet because I can't get a line-of-sight signal without putting up a 200-ft tower--so I asked B&T about satellite. I was told: "It works, but it won't stream video as fast as you're used to with cable. As long as you're okay with that, it's fine." Bzzzzzztttt. Wrong. The problem with satellite internet is not with streaming video--once your buffer is built and it's streaming away, you don't notice any difference, any more than you notice it when you're watching satellite TV. The problem with satellite internet is this: You click, and then you wait......forever. Often until the mofo times out on you, often repeatedly. If you're using internet for work/research, like I do, you spend most of your time waiting forever to reach the server, and for the server to respond back. It's the latency. It's fucking useless. How fucking useless? We have satellite internet that we're paying for, and we don't use it. With two or three bars out here, our goddamned Verizon cell phones are 10x faster and 100x more reliable, and we use them as internet hotspots, every day, all day. We're paying almost $100 per month for Hughesnet.con (the satellite provider that Dish uses), and we've set all of our devices to forget that modem so that the devices don't default to it. And it's a two-year contract--because any sane person would drop Hughesnet.con after a month once they got a taste of it, unless you happen to live in Bumfuck Nowheretistan and there is absolutely no alternative. Before we gave up on the satellite internet completely, it stopped working altogether for a couple of weeks. I called B&T twice over those two weeks and left messages (because, you know, don't call the 1-800 number). No return call. On the third try the guy who picked up (Doug? I don't know) told me that I had to call Dish's 1-800 number to get help. The guys from Dish came out the third week and said that my internet dish had been improperly installed by B&T with only 2 of the 4 bolts set on one side--like a hinge--and was tilting forward. The 1-800 Dish guy fixed the dish and replaced the system with the one that hits their newest generation satellite--Jupiter 2--and said it would be faster but would still suck, because satellite internet sucks, because of the latency issue. Sorry. He's absolutely right. The Jupiter 2 download speed is hella faster, and so what? That's not the problem. The problem is waiting......waiting.......waiting......for the downloading to start. And often it never does start, so then you get to try again.......and again.......and again. Other people seem to be satisfied with B&T, so I'll concede that my experience may be an outlier, related only to the shit satellite internet service that B&T offers through Dish. But in my defense, I wouldn't be writing this negative review: 1. If B&T had been straight with me about how horrible the Hughesnet.con service is in the first place (like the Dish guys were) 2. If B&T hadn't dodged me when I left voicemails about my satellite internet going to shit just because they don't want to deal with it and (as it turns out) it's not really their problem 3. If B&T hadn't done a crap job of installing the dish so that we lost three weeks of the shit service that I paid for (the three weeks relating to #2) 4. If B&T had gone to bat for me with Dish and helped me get out of my contract because the service isn't performing as represented, instead of washing their hands Here's what might happen next: Doug will attach a comment asking me to get ahold of him. I'm probably going to ignore that, because I'm going to assume that his interest isn't that he suddenly wants to help me. If he wanted to help me, that would have happened already, and I wouldn't be writing this review.* Why two stars instead of one? It's in recognition that B&T has a lot of 5-star reviews and must be doing something right. As for me: Meh, I've experienced better.

    Very knowledgeable, informative and professional. Able to answer questions we didn't know we had,…read moreshowed us features that we never accessed. Called customer service for us... Doug really went above and beyond. Referred him to our parents to get their dish hopper upgraded and for the tutorial, really. Will definitely use him for all of our future needs!!

    We moved and had ShastaBeam transfer the internet to our new address, works like a champ. I didn't…read morehave to do anything. When we arrived, the internet was up and running!

    After more than a year of crappy service we've quit. And I feel great about it!…read more As a rural internet customer, we were left with few options in a pandemic. I work from home and my two sons are enrolled in college FT. For a $500 installation fee, Shasta Beam promised a full refund (anytime during the first month of service) and a monthly service fee of $140. The receptionist touted unlimited bandwidth and speeds of 20-50 Mbps. And, although we never saw the promised land of 20 Mbps, we were delighted with 7 Mbps. However, after we passed our "introductory period" speeds rapidly declined to Un-usable and Un-Zoomable levels of 1- 0 Mbps.. I called Customer Support. They sent out a technician. Then another technician. And a third technician. Service would sometimes improve for a week. Sometimes it was made worse. Eventually the owner called and screamed into the phone, "WE WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE YOU WITH SERVICE!" (This preceded their 2021 decision to limit customers to 2 service calls per year.) Held hostage, with no other provider, we remained with Shasta Beam until April, 2021. Their business model is both unethical and immoral. And thanks to Elon Musk, Shasta Beam is not long for this world. We are now with Starlink, baby! (50-200 Mbps Down, 22 Mbps Up) $100/ mo.

    AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS. GET STARLINK, FRONTIER, COMPAIR, HUGHES, MOFI, ANYTHING ELSE…read more Most unprofessional business that I've ever used. The problem that I experienced is that the 6mbps internet that i signed up for worked consistently for about 8 days out of the 3 months I had them before I went with Frontier. After I dropped off the equipment and cancelled my account. I verified that my account was closed. The operator said it was when I dropped my equipment off at the door. I got a charged a late fee for 7$. I never got a call back and tried to talk to someone about this problem. No response. Normal problems I figure not a big deal. Not a reason to write a bad review. Travis the owner lives in Douglas City and personally responded to my complaint on the town FB page in the most childish way possible and made it clear I was on his personal sht list. I now have an account in collections from a 7$ amount to 200$, from an accumulation of 10$ late fees. I just want to save someone else the hassle of having slow to unresponsive internet, it's a necessity and this level of competence running a business shouldn't be allowed. Don't even give them 25$/m for their internet it's not worth it. I hope this helps someone else. If you only need internet sometimes. This is your ISP. These are the services we used for at least 6 months while in Douglas City. frontier dsl - 75$( consistent 50mbps ) that the owner of velocity uses at his home for a backup lol. 5stars viasat sat - 75$ (consistent 50mbps capped ) 3 stars. 60gb limit is bad enough. inconsistent from clouds. starlink sat - 100$ ( inconsistent but best speed 120-400 mbps ) 4 stars. May be a lot better now. cell phone boosters - 400$ ( inconsistent but basically free 10mbps ) 2 stars. one time fee to buy boosters but it helps to get a little 4g.

    If I could give negative. I would, no one should use them under any circumstances. Their local…read moreweaverville people are complete garbage. They never call you back. They never fix problem. They are completely useless and have no business doing this. If they tried it be one thing but lazy, don't know what they are doing and for 80 bucks a month I have use mobile hot spot more often then I get use the service. I would no recommend to my mother in law. Like this place is complete trash and should close down and they should never work in anything IT related again. DO NOT USE, DO NOT EVEN CONSIDE THINKING OF USING.
