I'm on Direcway now, and I'm counting the days until my contract runs up so that I can go back to sweet, sweet dialup.

Surfing is slightly faster, uploading is basically the same as dialup and you can pretty much forget about streaming audio/video/anything. Stats remote frequently causes the modem to crash especially if you have a bunch of programs.

Worst tech support system and phone manner of any company I've worked with...ever. I've actually been "accidentally" hung up on four times when they couldn't figure out a problem.

Depending on your signal strength on a sunny day you will most likely lose your connection on a slight drizzle of rain.

Satellite is like a paysite with all babes and 10's on the tour, but when you join all you get is low-res pics of dogs and crack whores. Oh, and it's $700 if you want to cancel before your contract date.

Pray for alternative broadband solutions if you have no other choice.
