My WildBlue satellite sevice sucks at times. There's a 3 to 7 second pause from the time I hit the enter key until the webpage data starts to flow into my computer. After the pause it is usually very fast. Videos are awesome! That is until storm clouds form in Texas (their end) or Michigan (my end). Also they limit your usage if you use it too much.Deven wrote:And Jim, would you let me know how that satellite internet turns out? My father lives in a more rural part of the state and is also stuck with 23k. Direct TV internet is still a bit more than he'd like to pay.
There's another system that uses point to point antennas. The local supplier is Freedom.net but they have a limited range. By the time my 18 month WildBlue contract expires maybe they will be available? They called me the day after my WildBlue was installed saying they are installing more new antennas that might be able to serve me.
