Camden, TN | said by Scatcatpdx:When you have to consider you have so many users pointing to the same bird. WB just launched a satellite a few months back that they themselves would increase capacity 6 fold. Yet the cap is the same. Sorry does not compute. It's not like tons of people are clamouring to pay $600 down and $60 a month for 512 kbps. |

| It does compute satellites carry more than internet in addition there bottle necks at uplink and downlink sites that connect you to the internet.
The only reason caps are an issue is a minority of users are crying that caps interferes with their bit torrents. Frankly, they can go to the devil. They can get a real job and buy the DVD or a Netflix subscription like the rest of us. |

Judging by DirecTV it takes around 3 months for the satellite to reach it's final position in Geo-Stationary Orbit, deploy it's panels, test up-links, finalize the firmware and test the bird fully before it's handed over to the provider. And that's in a rushed situation, if you don't pay the fees to rush deployment it can probably take 6months to get hand off from the launch group to the company.
So if WB shot the bird a couple months ago, figure on at least a month and probably more before you will see availability. |
