The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Jon,
What other aspects than speed are there Booth.
The most important other one is latency. Latency means more when doing interactive stuff (TN5250 sessions, gaming, etc) then say watching a video stream. Latency is the big reason satellite service is less desirable than other choices, if the speeds are otherwise similar.
Other aspects like jitter and packet loss come into play when doing VoIP or similar. For example, see

When we got a new service recently they warned us in the welcome package that we might see higher and lower speeds, than we were paying for, over the first 5 or 6 days while the connection "settled in" and learnt our usage patterns.
Wow, what should usage pattern have to do with what speed they give you?? So much for net neutrality. Is this supposed to mean if they detect torrent traffic they assume it is illegal P2P sharing and they throttle you down? Or if you do "too much" video streaming they penalize you? Or give you more bandwidth?
My residential Comcast gives me about 70 down and 12 up, for about $90/mth.
