[QUOTE="chuter, post: 2089977, member: 13693"] I tried Pioneer fixed wireless first; it was terrible. Usually we got less than 1Mb download. It may have just been our location, and it's been about 3 years since we quit them, so you may get better performance. Then we tried Nutel fixed wireless; a little better but not much. Now we use Verizon with a USB modem in our laptop. Usually it's very good. Anywhere from 6-15Mb download speed. Occassionally we have trouble getting connected, but 90-95% of the time it's good. With sattelite internet you'd have the same problem you do with sattelite tv service; stormy/rainy times can affect reception. I'm not sure what kind of download speeds people are actually getting from it. Verizon is ok, but if I could get U-Verse or Cox I'd switch in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
