Shopping for satellite internet
Hey all, we live in the middle of nowhere. Right now, my dial-up internet is conected at...26.4kbps, and that is WAY faster than usual. I usually connect at 19kbps.
I'm a senior in H/S, allllmost graduated. Dad needs a high-speed connection here at home for work. They might even pay for it. They have T1, so when he comes home and tries to use the internet, he usually just sits there clicking the same link over and over and over, because he doesn't realize that you have to actually wait for the next page to pop up. I always have to remind him that he has to wait about 5 minutes for each page to load!!
Anyways, we need satellite. I've got about 6 computers here at home with 3-4 users. If the latency is low enough, I'll probably buy myself an Xbox 360 this summer and play a little Xbox Live!, as well as Counter-Strike: Source, Starcraft, and Starcraft II on the computers.
So who here has satellite? Who are you with? What do you think?
