[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 149527, member: 2862"] Call around and see if anyone is coming into your neck of the woods with wireless access. If they are, and its within the year, wait for it. I've had a Direcway satellite system for 2 years now, and while it is marginally better than dial up, its not worth the extra money per month. If you frequent internet chat rooms, or play any kind of online games, the satellite system will simply not work for you. Too much latency (up to 3 seconds lag between signal send and reception) I also have a great deal of difficulty with dropped frames, even though I've got a large dish and the most powerful receiver/tranceiver they offered. These dropped frames will often rear up during "real time" stuff like chats or games, resulting in having to resend the message or command. And Direcway has a fair bit of down time per month, plus network problems with their email servers going down and sending messages off into the void. Rod [/QUOTE]
