Re: What a joke "For the price, the performance, usage caps, you may as well stay with dial-up."
This is based on the mistaken assumption that dialup is ALWAYS available. It is not. Where I live, my phone calls are clear as a bell, but a modem connection reaches 4800 baud if I'm lucky, and frequently disconnects. There are many homes that are strung miles away from the central office, with their phone lines running through coils/repeaters/whatever. Those things are modem killers.
For us, satellite IS the only option. | |

I'm sure there's some troubleshooting or perhaps modems that handle noise better for situations like yours, you probably have to do a little research but it probably wouldn't hurt.
So Satellite isn't the only "option" for you, it's the best.
