1. Forum Posting Info
by PetDude Press the "New Topic" button in the upper right hand side of the forum. Please do not press the "Got News" button. Questions posted in the news section are promptly deleted. by PetDude If you spot an news article related to Satellite Broadband, please submit it for inclusion in our news section by pressing the "got news" button. If your submission is accepted, you will get credit for it much like you get credit for helpful postings. Please keep these rules in mind to make sure your news article is accepted: 1. It must be news. PR pieces will not be accepted. If the article says "press release" on it it is probably just company PR that will be rejected. 2. It must be specifically related to satellite broadband access. Articles about satellite communications, or satellite launches not related to broadband internet access will be rejected. by PetDude There are various configurations of satellite internet connections. When you are asking questions or giving information in the forum, it is helpful to know what your configuration is. Instead of re-typing your configuration for every post, you can create a posting signature with the information that will appear in every post.
