go to 3gstore.com and get yourself the kyocera Kr2

then get yourself either a Sprint or Verizon EVDO card and pop it in. chances are you live in EVDO territory even if you are kind of in the country.

Now you will have 1.4mb connection and performance that will far out strip Sat service.

Yes that will be great. Lets move all the satellite users to EVDO and slow that to a crawl.

I actually looked at Satellite a while back but found out EVDO just hit my area. It took a high gain antenna and amp to get service but its pretty decent and allows me to game. They have been advertising it quite a bit and I've noticed my speeds decreasing. Its 5pm here and this is what I'm getting now.

That's not bad for country living. I remember the days when even Sat was highly impractical.

Just wait a few more years when LTE rolls out and everybody can get some great speed wirelessly.

I installed a few EVDO systems in homes in the country and had to do much like you did with high gain antennas and amps to get some great speeds. They were extremely excited to have high speed and not have to worry about dialup or high costs with Sat service and startup.
