RE: Satellite Internet

Shannon:
I have installed many one way satellite system, and they work well, but as
you know requires a dial up connection for the uplink traffic.  I have not
messed with two way satellite.  However, I did some research for a client
about 2-3 months ago, and found that there are some issues (performance
related) using a VPN connection over the satellite.  I believe I found the
info on Direct PC/Hughes web site.  Good luck.

To all:

I'm moving the the country, way, way back in the sticks actually, in about a
month.  I'm exploring my internet options for out there and the choices are
pretty slim.  Local dial-up is not available and calling an AOL or similar
number will be cost prohibitive. 

So...I'm looking at Satellite internet service.  However, I have zero
experience with it and don't know anyone who currently uses it.

So...if anyone out there is using two-way Satellite internet service such as
Starband or the DirecTV Two-Way service and can give me some feedback either
here or offline on your experiences, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!
