 | Satellite Internet Anybody have info on satellite internet? I'm on the other side of the train tracks and can't get cabel or dsl. I'm used to being connected and so being not is really causing some withdrawal issues. I got DishTV but they don't seem to provide internet(good business decision if you ask me). If anybody can direct me to a low cost solution, that would be great. TCSN has a wireless for $200 setup and $50 monthly. Not really too bad but what else is out there?? I have 2 dishes and can make my own receiver. Just tell me where to point. |

 | From what I've seen, satellite internet is actually RELIABLE, however slow (30-60kb downstream, 15-30kb upstream).

| Dish Network does offer internet service but it depends if Earthlink service is provided in your area. Are you staying there temporarily or is that your residence? Seems like you will need to endure the 56k pain for awhile as it might be your only source to access the internet. |
