You're talking about the future of Canadian broadband which is of course satellite internet from America.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19942863 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 00:30:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19935790 Kearnstd : wow some of those caps could be blown out by a single WoW patch. not that you would want to play WoW over sat.

Where I live, about 36000 feet from the phone company's central office, a dialup connection runs at about 4800 baud if I'm lucky, and disconnects every 10 minutes or so. Cellular wireless is no-go due to line-of-sight being blocked by nearby hills. So, satellite is truly the only option. They are truly a monopoly, and they know it and behave as one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934818 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 19:49:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934553 CP81 : Obviously I know zip about this stuff other than I am presently relying on Hughes for connection from the boonies.
Dial Up modems I need phone lines, right? We don't have phone lines or cell service where I am. So I still need the dish (I think)...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934553 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 19:08:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934373 JJV : When I was in the boonies I went with dual dialup modems. I got tired to paying the sat company for nothing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934373 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:43:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934273 CP81 : I'd use a library or internet cafe if there was one around. I am rural and need the broadband if I want to stay in touch (which I do). So, yes, I'd sure like to know what the other options might be for those of us in the boonies.
Thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934273 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:31:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934205 jchambers28 : another reason satellite internet sucks.I would go to an internet cafe or a libary before i would pay or deal with that crap.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19934205 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:21:15 EDT
