DSL is spooty in Ventura county, CA?? You wouldn't think so.... -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Atherton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2002 19:45 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: SATELLITE DSL WITH EXCHANGE SMTP?
That is why my suggestion to him was www.skypipeline.com <http://www.skypipeline.com> . Not satellite, but earth-based direct microwave, with min speeds of 256 K Both Ways - symmetrical Fractional T-1 connectivity, with business and home accounts - with different policies and Usage Uptime commitments. Home accounts are cheaper with best effort - similar to Cable or home dsl, and business accounts priced more, with better support and uptime commitments. You pay for what you want. Speeds are available the same with both styles of accounts, but responsiveness to problems aren't. Also, this is really of benefit when you are outside of DSL range, cause it is a little more costly. Where he is in Ventura county, CA (same as me) dsl is spotty.

What about the upload speed. If you are running an exchange server on the site, and you are sending the data out over satellite, you are going to have a 60KB upload rate or something like that aren't you? That is what stopped us from setting up an exchange server on a remote site.

In fact it's so good, I don't belive there's any way satellite can provide this kind of latency. I've used several satellite rigs, and none come in under 500ms latency. Either their smoking crack, or 70 ms is some BS their makreting department came up with that refers to internal latencies on their wired network, and doesn't represent what customer's see over their true satellite links. You can't pump data into near earch orbit, and back that fast; the distances are far enough that the speed of an electron becomes an issue. That being said, most web protocols SMTP, FTP, HTTP, etc. were initial designed for slow dial up networks with high latency. And will run fine over the 500+ ms latencies of a satellite network. Issues would arise with other protols such as Citrix ICA, MS RDP or SNA. If your users want to just browse the web, and POP mail they should be fine. -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 11:51 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: SATELLITE DSL WITH EXCHANGE SMTP? Thanks. Yes, we were talking about "high speed connection". The issue of latency seems to be acceptable at certain levels... One such measurement, 70ms, comes from a company called www.SkyPipeline.com <http://www.skypipeline.com/> . If latency is an *ENEMY* to good line speed what will it mean to have 70ms using "interactive applications" specifically remote access software? "...guaranteed to have an average round trip packet transit time within SkyPipeline's Broadband Wireless Network over a calendar month of 70ms or less. The average network latency is measured as the average of 15-minute samples taken throughout the month" -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 9:31 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: SATELLITE DSL WITH EXCHANGE SMTP? As long as you get static ip it should be okay. Others may complain about the terminology you are using, since DSL is a connection method and so is satellite so I'm presuming you are talking about satellite for high speed connectivity. There will be latency but it shouldn't matter too much -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 6:33 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: SATELLITE DSL WITH EXCHANGE SMTP? We are in Ventura County, CA and just found out from the ISP that slots on the D-SLAM may not be available for our IDSL connection. How well does satellite DSL weigh in with SMTP mail on an Exchange Server environment? Thanks.
