Washougal, WA | My point was people who never used satellite try it after you used dialup for a while, I used DirecPC then Direcway long before the newest name change, they all suck, but what can a person do when all you have is either dialup or satellite choose from, I live 10 miles east of the nearest town that has real broadband (DSL/Cable/WISP), and its not easy just to move, same WISP is available out here but never happen at my immediate location. |
| Definitely agree with you there. When I first got 2-way satellite in 2001 after having only dialup here for a year after coming from an urban area with cable, satellite was like having a lifeline to the world again. There's so much that you simply can't do with dialup or that is just excruciatingly slow to accomplish (yes, you could say the same thing about low latency broadband vs. satellite, but satellite definitely expands upon what you can do on dialup by a good margin.)
