I know the feeling, we have WildBlue(Dish Network) satellite Internet and it is up to 1MB at times but generally slower!

larry - I hope you noticed my wink in the original post. No doubt DSL is a huge improvement. I have no idea who Hughes is, but I believe I'm happy that they don't serve this area.My wife is trying to convince me to go with cable internet (Suddenlink).I'm not so sure, I'm thinking that I'd rather cancel cable all together and get our TV 100% from the internet.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT:Test E-mail
Rick, I would imagine he's talking Hughes satellite, it's also offered through DirecTV and maybe even Dish, don't know. Good I suppose if your area doesn't have any cable service or access to DSL. Download times may be acceptable (like DSL) but uploads are really slow. I have cable here in Lawton for Internet, TV and now phone. Not as fast as others (10MB down, 1MB up) but it's the fastest available here and since I do a lot of uploading for my web sites, DSL or satellite was never an option for me. You say you want to get TV from the Internet.how are you connecting to the Internet now if not by DSL, cable, or satellite? I have both satellite and cable. Satellite primarily for TV but high winds and storms here due knock it out occasionally and cable for Internet, phone, and those times when the satellite is knocked out.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT:Test E-mail
I'm on ATT DSL at a premium level, its an extra $5 or $10 a month. I'm pretty sure that my download speed would be acceptable for video. I'm also usually slow to accept change. I still pay 99% of my bills by mail. Suddenlink (cable) annoys me with their semi-annual , or so it seems, rate hikes. I've got their expanded basic service, one movie tier (not first run) and a DVR and am paying $100 with the latest increase. Just seems to me that there are better ways. DISH advertising looks tempting too.We don't often loose cable service, but a co-worker says that his DISH is pretty reliable. But as I say I'm hesitant to change, will the new be any better/different? Anyway, just ramblin out loud. I know that there are options for internet access too.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT:Test E-mail
Yes, I do everything online. To get good content without pirating it, you still have to have some subscription services. I have Hulu Plus (9 bucks), Netflix (8 bucks) and IVI.tv (5 bucks) subscriptions and get all the channels I want. For seasonal sports, I only really follow football and baseball, so the free over the air HD broadcasts gets me most of that, but I did subscribe this year to NFL.com (cost me 30), but I get to watch any game from the whole season in full HD, plus I will be able to watch the playoffs and superbowl as well. The only thing with online services is that you cant usually watch the programing live or when its broadcast...usually its a wait of about a day or so. Now the kicker is how much do you watch? My online usage averages 80 - 120 GB of download every month. Most ISPs would crap their pants and cancel your service for using that much. My ISP is a local broadband wireless provider and they are really cool. I know that the cable providers usually cap your bandwidth usage at about 20 GB, I am not sure about ATT DSL. A quick google shows they don't seem to have a cap in place at this time, but might in the near future... If you have any other questions, let me know.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT:Test E-mail
Here's the Hughesnet link for those interested. http://welcome.hughesnet.com/ They say they are available everywhere. If you don't have any other service available except for dial-up Hughes is OK. The only thing that drives me crazy is the customer service out of India and the archaic download policy. If you go over your allotment they slow you down to dial-up speed for a up to 24 hrs. No music or movie downloads except from 11pm to 3am when they have no restrictions on download. That I won't miss. Have a great day.
