Re: Skyway vs. StarConnect

Phil,

Did you buy a modem for each, or can the same modem be used for both services? I'm almost tempted to order the equipment from Skyway and then sign up with Starconnect, but I doubt that will work.

My big fear is that 4 months after I sign up, Cable will be installed on our road. Thats the main reason I'm tempted by Starconnect's lack of contracts.

Comparing the two, this is what I see so far.

Skyway has better equipment pricing (100 w/ contract, 150 w/o), but they seem to be a little more expensive for regular use when comparing equivalent plans (their unlimited 12:00 - 6:00 usage does help this though). As well as their modem (right now I'm sharing a dial-up connection wirelessly and you lose some functionality by rigging the router that way).

Starconnect's RUP policy seems better as well as no contracts.
