So satellite internet is a bad thing?

Postby ~s0ap~ » Fri Jul 02, 10 6:44 am

If you believe that, i'm proud to call you a noob. There are ISPs out there with shitty service, for example X-Plorernet's slow speeds, bandwidth limiter, and crappy service. My internet provider is Yourlink, and I have satelitte internet. The speed is faster than advertised, great service, no bandwidth limit, faster than the town's internet, and best of all it works perfectly in bad weather conditions. All the time, I see people dissing it. Maybe it's just a Canadian thing, But what do you think?

I think you should check your pings and compare up/download speeds.

And pricing, compared to 'normal' providers.

Not that version of satellite, the version where you point your satellite at a tower, in my case P&H Grain Terminal, 1 kilometer to my South West.
