2 edits | Satellite is DEAD.. I don't think they get it that Satellite is pretty much a dead end.
10mbps? Hell, even some of the newer wireless technologies will eat that for lunch.. and if you have wired, jeez. My Cable Modem is faster than that.
Although, WB is a hell of alot better than HughesNet's crap. At least they give you a 17GB chunk instead of 150MB/day max then they drop you to less than dialup speeds. WTF??
I think HughesNet should give up and die off. They have the oldest, shi**iest technology out there. Sure, it was great a decade ago, but sure as hell not now.
Satellite isn't very upgradable either, unless you can get a 100Gbps Uplink to the satellite. Maybe they should try the beta technologies and get the fastest connection period (I heard Tbps speeds somewhere). Then they'll be able to handle the current capacity.
That's where I applaud Verizon's FiOS. Maybe more companies should follow them instead of trying to do newer things with old-as-hell technology (uhm.. DSL). Cable is old, but has the bandwidth to handle the traffic. The twisted pair? I'm surprised it's still being used.
What's the bandwidth of a single unshielded twisted pair again?
