Alexis, it is what it is. There are usage policies and inherent latency issues with this technology. Your upstream speed is probably the biggest concern for most surf and mail users. 2 way systems top out at about 128k with a realistic average of say 80k, which we know isn't much faster than dialup. Which is why I went with skyway's one way deal, it's just not worth the difference in price to gain that little edge over snailband.

Satellite is for now a situational solution. Either landbased broadband isn't availiable or you just can't deal with your local monopoly any more.
