• Connectivity
  • These days connectivity is essential for people of all ages in order to thrive, socialize, and communicate in today's world.  Without proper channels of communication we can't do our banking, communicate with others outside our immediate area, or harness the power of the internet...the kids can't do their homework and an entire world of information lies just out of reach.  Connectivity is the key to communication and therefore the key to knowledge and information.
• DISH Television
  • Whether you want just  one television hooked up to DISH or 4 TV's all watching different channels, we're your one-stop shop!  Mandatory digital broadcast is coming, and Foothill Tech is ready to help you upgrade with standard and Hi-Def receivers and antenna upgrades, ready to install.
• High Speed Internet
  • As web sites become more complex and downloadable file sizes increase dialup connections become more and more obsolete.  The fact is that much of the power of the internet is simply not available for dialup users, meaning that you are not getting the most out of your internet experience.  In addition the wait times for dialup these days are enough to frustrate Ghandi.  Most methods for receiving and transmitting high speed broadband internet signals involve a municipal infrastructure which is simply impractical to set up in rural areas.  Our stand alone systems offer ubiquitous coverage over the continental United States, so anyone anywhere can now get lightning fast uploads and downloads.  No more waiting for dialup to connect, either.  The "always on" satellite link makes using the internet a pleasure, not a hassle.  Download speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 512 Kbps make sat-link high speed a must for rural internet users.  Now you can download songs in seconds that used to take 20 minutes over dialup.  Downloading software is a breeze.  Don't let the true power of the internet pass you by...sign up for Wild Blue service today.

• What's it gonna cost you?
  • Our service charge for installing Wild Blue high speed satellite internet is governed by Wild Blue or one of its affiliates, and is currently $199.95 plus the monthly service charge of $49 to $79 per month, depending upon the service level you choose.  Special installations (roof mounted dishes or pole mounted dishes) will incur equipment and/or service charges not included in the $199.95 price. Our service charge for installations and service on existing equipment not covered by Wild Blue's or DISH TV's warranty are as follows...$65 for the first hour and $50 for each additional hour, plus materials..  Additional hours are computed in one minute increments, so you're only getting charged for the time our technician is on site after the first hour.  We will be happy to give you an estimate by e-mail or by telephone for installations, however an actual site survey may reveal other factors affecting the final price.  All estimates for repairs on existing equipment must be made by a technician on-site and will incur the $65 service call and first hour charge, regardless of whether or not repairs are ultimately contracted.
• What areas we serve
  • Wild Blue high speed internet service and DISH Television installations are available in Tuolumne, Calavaras, Stanislaus, Merced, and Mariposa counties.  Other services are offered in these areas on an individual basis.  We are based in Knight's Ferry, California (just 10 miles East of Oakdale), so travel charges may be assessed on smaller projects outside a 50 mile radius around Knight's Ferry.
