It's suspect to say the least since data connections are more sensitive. In all honesty the only way I would ever suggest Sat connections for Internet is if cable doesn't go to your location or if you travel alot in a motor home.

I would take Sat TV over Cable anyday of the week. You get far more channels for a comparable price. That said, their Internet isn't nearly as good as Cable.

She either has a bad install or has trees that get in the way of signal when the wind.

I'm having consistent connection with skyway, which uses the phone line to upload. The Hughes system was less reliable because of the transmitter. 3 watts has much more of an issue penetrating clouds than a high powered sattelite.
