Re: Caps are not cool said by seaman:As fas as *access* is concerned I would estimate 99% of the earth's surface is now served by some form of broadband whether it's DSL, Cable, BPL, Wi-Fi or SATELLITE. Satellite is not "true" broadband. You get low speeds( 400/40 is the average) and the latency makes gaming as well as other applications impossible. DSL, Cable, Wireless, T1, Fiber...are real broadband connections. Take satellite out and how many people is broadband available to?

Seattle, WA | Actually, I setup a satellite system on a 180ft yacht last Friday. And yes, it sucked, but there arent any other options where that ship is headed. I also set up another satellite system in my own neighborhood for a guy that hates Comcast. His download is several times faster than the average dialup connection.
I stick by my original statement. 400 down *does* qualify as broadband. Is satellite a workable solution for gaming or file trading? Obviously not. |
