I've had it ages .... i use my 56k for surfing ...

remember i said i had about £300 to spend on ADSL :confused2

Well in thiery i could get rid of my sat connection and get 8mb/s adsl if i wanted to ... but adsl wont be in my area for ages ... so i'm keeping my sat :classic2:

Also ... my connection is being upgraded :biggrin2:

it will have a min of 8mbit both ways :cool: and a max of 1000mbit both ways
 
Do you mind giving me the URL of this company that offers 8000/8000 satellite connection for roughly $400USD/Monthly.

Thank You.

Also.. how much do you pay a month for it?

My dad's work has sattelite but it is different, he has satellites in his office that send the signal to a local antenna. Which is right down the street. He normally gets DSL down speeds and about 1.5mb up that is $375 a month. But the company they get it through is upgarding there sytem so they will have 3mbps up and down. All satellite connections are effected by weather.

It affected ur reception.

During the Ice Storm... Didn't u see that really small pixel at the top right corner of your TV seem a bit odd in colour when you stare at it? It's sorta lighter than the rest.
 
Storms don't affect my satellite dish, except for the times when we get wet, heavy snow and it sticks to the damn thing blocking the reception.

Well at the moment i'm paying just over £300 + VAT .. but the speeds are not always extreamly fast .. sometimes dips to a couple of mbit ... so i'm having my account upgraded to min 8mbit both ways ...

it will probally increase my fee by 200%

And did i tell you it cost £750 + VAT for the dish and software :mad:

I can give you a url of a company like the one i'm using :biggrin2:

http://www.skydsl.de/skydsl/gb/

not sure if they support the USA though :biggrin2: not even sure if there is a data-transfer limit ... :confused:

What is all this crap I read that you have to have a dial-up ISP??? Don't tell me it is one of those one way things, cause I can get sattelite with the same speed here, but you still need dial up service for you up stream, it is only about $20 a month and no equipment charge.
