Satellite Internet?

[DshRipRock]

Most satellite internet services will run you 60-100 dollars per month. The cost of the equipment is extra. The speeds are around 1 Meg which is comparable to DSL. I see these systems all the time during the summer when we Camp/RV. The equipment looks exactly like the Sat dishes you see on top of Esso Gas Stations. You will need a seperate dish for your TV service.

You need a clear south-south west view of the sky for any SAT service to work, keep this in mind.

Moving out to gods country has it's costs but they are out weighted by the benefits. I know the area you are moving to and you will be very happy.

You need to shop around and see which one fits your usage ... I need to get one but I am still undecided who to get ... I am comfortable with my cell phone plan wiht Bell . but I have Rogers internet at home which is great, but I am wondering about thier portable service.

Its a lot of going out there and finding out what they offer and seeing which one fits your needs and budget.


Cause you want something where your not worried abotu the bill going up

edited - nope, these won't work for me. I'm outside the coverage areas. F*ck! It's like going back to the dark ages... dial up!! Who the hell still has dial up?

I know few lab boys that would love to visit Morgan with their portable transmitter.

Wi-Max is better investment than Wi-Fi if you can wait.

You could also have multiple telephone lines hooked up to a bonded modem device so you can double the dialup bandwidth from 56k to 112k. Ask the ISP for the "bonded modem" setup.
