tommie gorman Posted November 4, 2006 CID Share Posted November 4, 2006 Not brave....desperate lol... Most times it is sat or dial-up. Believe me we are just waiting. But sat can actually be faster than what you actually have yourself Sparticus013. It just cost too much. Also stated, it will work in the middle of nowhere.

granpa Posted November 4, 2006 CID Share Posted November 4, 2006 You guys are brave venturing into satellite. I guess we are, with all going on, GPS, Sat Radio, Dishnetwork, DirecTV, TV & Cable Up Links and so on, what were we thinking of; or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slower Posted November 4, 2006 CID Share Posted November 4, 2006 You guys are brave venturing into satellite. When you are paying 80 bucks a month for a dialup connection like I was it's not brave but just practical.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sat can actually be faster than what you actually have yourself Sparticus013. It just cost too much. Also stated, it will work in the middle of nowhere. That's the plus, what if you got a power converter and hooked up the sat in your car? Internet around town! I bet your sat is more reliable than my cable though.

I bet your sat is more reliable than my cable though. NOT during storms. Mine actually runs pretty decent, compared to others. Can't complain. Just wish a real connection would show up at my doorstep. Like 6.0 DSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted November 5, 2006 CID Share Posted November 5, 2006 Nah, I wish. I am 5 miles from civilization. It is not even in my state. Or any surrounding state. By the time FIOS reaches me it will be a slow connection by that time. Like dial-up is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted November 5, 2006 CID Share Posted November 5, 2006 Pretty much. But I would not complain. I have a pretty clean life out here. It is worth a satelite on my roof to have it. :grin2: And 5 miles is not far to a store. (in 3 different directions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worth a satelite on my roof to have it. :grin2: And 5 miles is not far to a store. (in 3 different directions) 5 one direction here and 15 the other two, nothing to the north but water. I have UPS, FedEx and DHL working for me. Satellite works fine here and does my chain saws for a clear line of sight and my firewood.
