Oh yes, there are some real dirtbags on both Dish and Direct internet

The latency will kill you for fast twitch gaming. No question about it.
All in all DSL or cable is a better deal. Satellite is really for us guys
who live where the cable/phone guys don't want to spend the money on the
infrastructure and the local towns don''t have the balls to stand up to them
a
Ooppps that was $100 up front and $100/mo versus $600 upfront and $60 a

NO, what there is is called "Fair Access Policy', implemented in software.
Iwhat it comes down to is you can average 22 MB every hour for ever. You
start off with a 167 MB credit (more for commercial packages which cost more
bucks) and can draw against that as fast as you want, but that hastens the

It's closer to 100K mile. Geostationary orbit is about 25K miles up.
For a round-trip, that means 25K f

FYI, he meant $100, not $4100 (lack of a shift key on the 4). They
basically let you pay for equipment over time at a total of ~$100
extra. High interest rate, but easier to swallow for man

What's the latency like on that? I'm assuming with a 48K mile

Uhh... if it didn't get passed then it does not matter *what* the bill
said. A bill has precisely zero
I've got Adelphia due to lack of availability of DSL here (and the
cable modem winds up in a swamp with a couple wireless hops to get it
here) and it's mostly been good (5 minute reboot time on their DHCP
server after a power outage though, I think they need a UPS).
I'm 6.5 miles from the CO.

I had issues when I first got it hooked up (due to Verizon being stupid,
not MV) but since then it's been great.
