Mike, I'm curious regarding latency issues, especially if using VoIP for connections like IRLP or remote voice links. Did you experience them when on satellite, or was it a "non-issue" in your experience?
And I assume your connections losses while on the bird were due to "rain fade" or similar???

I used to use two-way satellite for my IP and now regret ending that service. I had only very brief storm outages compared to my downtimes with Comcast. Also, during power failures, Comcast has been going down here not long after the power does, so your Internet connection may not be available when you need it the most.
