Broadband Satellite
 

Anyone else use satellite for there broadband? Specifically direcway?

Were I live this is the only broadband available, thing that sucks is they cap your downloads. You cant download more then 169 megs within a four hour period, if you do your connection comes to screeching halt, and your booted off the system for a few hours.

This is the bullshit you have to deal with when using direcway satellite broadband.

direcway :321GFY

the satellite im commissioned on has been having trouble for the past 3 days, back to a 56k dial up :feels-hot :321GFY

just venting :feels-hot :mad:

sat internet sucks, especially when you have to dial in for upstream, its so bloody slow.

that download limit is pretty cruel too

arent u in ny still?

Get optonline. No caps. Fastest I download is 1.5mb/second

Juicy i left Brooklyn 3 months ago, moved to south fla :)


Were i live there is no dsl and cable, ETA 1+ year plus :feels-hot

I had optonline cable broadband in NY and loved it, no one beats optonline thats for sure. My luck i pick place to move and there is no broadband. few miles up etc people have dsl and cable, just didnt hit this part of town yet :feels-hot


uploads speeds are a FUCKING JOKE! if im LUCKY i can get the speed of 56k or better.

download speeds are comparable to DSL, but with way more problems and outages, and the lag factor sucks. But it beats a dial up! :( :feels-hot

I'll stick with cable.. blows away satellite

anything blows away a satellite

dsl is better then cable here :winkwink:

Everyone I know who lives in S Florida who has $, has high speed.
