Im on Hughes Net satellite connection. have been for years.

the pros: its by far faster than dial-up ever thought of being an its pretty reliable. even in crappy weather. can play most MMO games online okay. not great but 'okay'. if it does happen to conk out the help support is awesome.

the cons: its not cheap. an this is the get you clause - "Your service provider implements a Fair Access Policy in order to guarantee a fair share of available bandwidth to all users."

meaning they instantly penalize you if you go over whatever your download limit is for your service plan. even if its just by one little inky dinky KB over an the connection speed slows down so much that dial-up is faster,, an itll be like that for 24hours unless you wanna feed them more money for tokens.

also the download limits are set so low that if youre one to watch movies or TV shows or a lot of YouTube videos it goes super fast. its really quite ridiculous.

"broadband unbound" my a$$.

i only recommend satellite if you have no other options but are tired of slow dial-up speeds.

but ive only used Hughes Net. not sure if theres other satellite internet providers out there. but if there is any im assuming theyre much of the same type of FAP crap policy regardless anyway.
