I had verizon DSL when I first started. Boy, you talk about latency issues! I know the feeling. It wasn't far off from you. Talk about taking ten years to do anything. My 768/128 was more like 200/128!! Best yet,it took ten years to browse as my latency was crap. While this was DSL, and you are satellite, the dissatisfaction was no different. Either way, satellite is a good backup, but nothing else. |

Yah...try doing ANYTHING interactive on that. With satellite something as simple as logging into an HTTPS website becomes a painful experience.

said by cscottm :I agree unless that FAP thing didn't exist. Also people don't want to have to pay $80 (or whatever the price is now) for Satellite IMO it will still be utter and complete crap because of the latency.
