Dialup is a pain -- hell.. cablemodem feels kinda like a minor cavity sometimes.

Someday I want to move to the country, and I am really worried that I won't be able to get cable or DSL there. I guess the only option left will be to get the satellite net access, and I have heard that those pretty much suck donkey genitalia.

If I ever do move and have to go satellite, I was thinking maybe I would get 2 of them from competing companies, and hook them both into one of those routers that distributes your activity across both connections to achieve maximum usage.

Anyone here have satellite net access?

Satellite access is very fast. You can compare it to cable access or dsl. But, the problem is latency. If you are a gamer don't take satellite access. Expect pings of 2000 ms
