If Hughes is out, see if you can get ISDN...
Hmmm, "up to 128Kbps" (where I live only 64Kbps is offered) and 3.5mi range (nowhere close to me). Not sure I'd put ISDN in the same league with sat. But of course EMDV (Everyone's Mileage Does Vary)!

Re: [HN7000S] Alternative

I'm not sure about the range of ISDN, but I don't think its 3.5miles. But 64kbps can feel awfully fast at sub 100ms pings. Granted downloads would suck, but webpages and remote access work is what you wanted to do, it would be fine. It depends on the needs of the individual, but certainly isdn does have a niche.

 Check with your phone company again. Dual ISDN is 128k (both ways). It only requires two pair entering the house (think of it as two phonelines) and should have no distance limitation like DSL.

It's pretty old technology though, but still beats the hellouta dialup.
