Hopefully someone here will be able to help me out. I'm currently looking for opinions on which Sattelite Uplink service I should get for my DSL needs. I live out in rural Indiana.. so getting a piece of a T1 line anytime soon is out of the question. The only choice I have left is to look at alternate wireless Broadband services. Sattelite seems to be the way to go, but I'm at a loss for where to start looking.
Low Earth Orbit sattelite services seem to be the way to go.. but none currently exist (to my knowladge) just yet. Teledesic should be up and running this year.. but how well it will run and how much it will cost is uncertain. Since, for now, I'm stuck using GEO Sattelite services, I'd like to know how many people here use one and what the online gaming experience is like. Which service would you recommend, and is it worth plunking down the cash for if Teledesic is going online sometime in the (hopefully) near future? How much do you pay per month, and how tight is the bandwith cap?
If you use a GEO Sattelite Uplink service for your Broadband.. let me know the name of the company you're going through and how well it's working out for you. Also.. how much does the Dish and installation cost?
Thanks
