Satellite Broadband

I am going to the sky. QUESTION: who all is using the satellites? Are there any problems? What are typical up and down load speeds?

I am looking at: Directway, Starband and a new one Wildblue. WB is not up and running yet.

Comments are most appreciated. TIA Harvey

Satellite Broadband

A couple of good links.... Thanks

I guess I need to understand broadband, bandwidth, dsl and how all the above relates to a connection to the internet or an ISP.

I just assumed all things faster than dial up were broadband and you have a certain amount of data that can be moved at any time thus bandwidth to connect 2 or more computers or a network, a ISP or the internet.

I have used dial ups for over 20 years connecting at 300 baud then on the old bullentin boards prior to the internet for the masses.

I was in Atlantic City, last week, and had my laptop hooked to whatever they have. It was my first time on something fast and I liked it.

My home in the boonies will have something fast soon one way or another. But I guess I can wait for another couple of months and do the research.

We are out far enough and in a valley we do not have cell service. Land line services will never (in my life time anyway) be avaiable here. I have asked Verizon and they will not even discuss the possability.

We have been on C-band for 13 years and am looking at options there also.

I use Verizon wireless on my laptop now. It is not all that great. The land line is just as fast or faster.

The cell phone option is great on the road for quick access, to stay in touch, check weather etc.

I've never liked the NOAA broadcast on the road cause I never knew where they were talking about.

You have to have a solid digital signal also.
