Works just fine on my Linux!

Price is a little high for me on a disability check, but it's better than being on dialup for another 17 years!

I don't know what the problem is with those complaining so much (well, yes, I do...I used to be a computer repair tech and in 10 years I'd say that 75% of the people on computers shouldn't own one in the first place!), everything is right there to examine so one can understand what's involved. Most problems are because the person *didn't* do any homework (lazy), *didn't* know what to say when asking questions before signing up, and now refuse to learn what can be done to remedy the problem. It's simply easier for them to whine and complain.

I was on dialup from 1993 until 3 months ago. I searched for something better all the time, and when I found something I spent a *lot* of time researching and learning about it.

Finally I came to the conclusion that satellite is my only option of high-speed internet where I'm at. Exede has been working perfectly for me since day one. I was a little leery about it working on linux, but it was a breeze to set up and I get 12Mbps+ consistently. I utilize the late night free zone time to do any downloads of large files, etc.

All one has to do is be careful what you're doing on the internet during the day. Too many people simply don't want to 'think', and therefore they're surprised when they find the internet speed slowed way down because they've gone over their limit so quickly by watching stupid youtube video's that everyone and their poodle sends to them in their e-mail (or the one about the autistic kid...yeah lady, youtube eats up that bandwidth. You'd have known this if you'd done a little more research than just reading 'reviews').

As far as I'm concerned, Exede is up there with my list of all my favorite things.

You would be better off with Millenicom on VZW or Sprint (if sprint has service in your area then clearwire or Milennicom on Sprint)

Sat is the worst thing you can do.

Re: :(

Satellite may be his best option. It is highly unlikely he has Sprint 4G coverage where he is and Verizon 4G is heavily capped, even with Millenicom. LNFZ is extremely valuable if you can utilize to its potential and Verizon doesn't have anything like it.

Way ahead of you. We get nothing else out here where I am in the woods, 97% of the imte no cellphone signal either. Silbaco is correct, satellite is my *only* option for this area for high-speed internet. It just took me a while to bite the bullet because of the price and the fact I live on a rinky-dink disability check.
