High Speed Internet Via Satellite In Canada - GoFuckYourself.com

GTS Mark · 05-21-2006, 09:13 AM

What are the options in Ontario... I am just about to buy a cottage in the Muskokas and there is no high speed access from Rogers/Bell (obviously).

So I am thinking high speed satellite internet would be my best bet. Any suggestions guys?

cheap or expenisve.. ?

Most cheap solutions have terrible upload speed so keep that in mind..

Dont quote me but i think "directtv" has internet via its minidish's

DH: You should be able to find a high speed wireless provider in the area, either candlelight.ca or muskoka.com.

Satellite should be your last resort; we're getting a site survey done next week with xplornet.com; if we can get the service, I'll let you know what it's like. (This is the new Ka-band service, not the crappy Ku-band Hughes service)

Microwave (aka wireless) or satellite are likely your options; DSL is unlikely since the proximity to switching stations is gonna be too far; cable is unlikely since hardly anyone in cottage country would have cable TV service.

my friend had satellite and hated it, upload is total shit.

Satellite isn't too bad IF you have no other choice. I had a small part in a company 3 years ago that sold Starchoice and we were getting into LinkSat, the service was not that good but compared to dialup obviously it was great. As already mentioned uploads are a joke.

Does BellXpressvu still offer internet? If not LinkSat I think is $50-60 a month (it's been a while) and is not too bad. But I will add I will not buy anything that does not offer hispeed direct as Satellite is very unrealiable.

satellite seriously fucking sucks. i have a friend who had it in a remote cabin in the rockies, complete garbage. that was a couple of years ago though, maybe it's improved?

not to mention the latency on satellite can be shitty too .. 5-10 secs for things to start at times.

Download speed is okay, but upload is like dial up
