Titusville, FL | Take what you can get. Satellite is for those who have no option at all. We are a national government construction contractor. We get jobs in the middle of nowhere. We have had to use satellite for the following reasons: 1. No other options available. 2. $20,000+ cost to run DSL to where we need it for a 2 year job. 3. On a military base with only military service, they won't allow a contractor to tap into a military systems.
We have two current sites that use satellite 24/7. Both sites run a FTP program/client which synchronizes files between the site and the home office every hour 24/7. We have been doing this since the dial up days the same way. We work around the limitations that are presented. Satellite is a last resort option for us and should be for anyone else.

1 edit | Ever looked into making a long-distance WiFi Connection?
I do admit, in those situations, Satellite is a decent option. Plus, what most people are not looking at, is that they throttle you down when you go over the cap. They don't charge you more if you go over it unlike most cell companies (except a few).
I wonder what would happen if the cell companies would throttle you down instead of charging by the kilobyte? |

Titusville, FL | LD Wifi is not an available. Cellular internet service will not work in most areas we are, they do not offer enough bandwidth, and is to costly. We use to host 5+ computers through 1 dial up connection, talk about painful. |
