[QUOTE="Bierhunter, post: 2765539, member: 3178"] We're also out in the middle of nowhere, and satellite used to be our only option. As mentioned above, latency is what really affected us. We were getting about 1800ms responses on pings. Also, the accuracy of the dish is more important; since you're transmitting as well as receiving. Due to that, there were many times we had to realign the dish or be without a connection for days at a time. You know...it never gets windy in Oklahoma. ;) If you just need basic web surfing and emails, it's ok. I'd never use it for gaming or other low latency apps again though. We're on DSL now, so I'll never go back to satellite if I can avoid it. [/QUOTE]
