Satellite Internet??

[Lydia_Deetz]

I am moving to a more rural area where satellite internet is the only half way decent choice. I was wondering if there is anyone else who uses this service and how well it works with, MFC, or camming in general.

I could go with Verizon and their mobile broadband service but am terrified of the overages!

Any and all advice plz!!

Thats what I have heard too, and they cap downloads to a certain number, then offer a free time between 2am-7am.

What's the actual up speed they are stating they offer? A lot of the satellite providers offer an up speed that won't work for camming.

its only 250 kbps.

In my opinion that would not be worth it, you would more than likely never even hit 200kbps.

Yeah I think I am going to have to go with Verizon and see what happens.
