Re: WISP vs. Satellite Nice pings there  That's the real difference in Sat v about any other form of broadband and why sat service remains at the bottom of the pile in choices for many people. Latency is extremly important to me and the reason why I'd rather stay on dial up and wait for a WISP to cover my area versus getting satellite service even though I'm paying $40 monthly just for an extra phone line and dial up service.
For casual surfing and those that just want to download files I can't see how satellite service would be all that bad. If you want to do any gaming, voip, web cam, voice chat, etc etc you don't want to be on a satellite connection. The other issues for satellite service is weather related problems that do not seem to effect wireless as bad. |
