Re: That number is too low said by Rivian:
Satellite IS NOT BROADBAND!!!
And any one who tries to say otherwise is a friggin idiot.
Umm.. besides the latency and usually poor uploads why would you consider satellite not to be broadband? I have 512kbps download DSL service and both the Pegasus and DirecWay systems offer the same speeds (if not faster under peak conditions). If my dsl is considered "broadband" then by the same definitions both of those satellite systems would meet the prerequisites. Personally I think the term broadband is over-used as well. I think 100-1000 kbps is more like "middleband" and when you get over the 1 mbps range you're talking broadband. |
