Anyone do Satellite internet?
Moved into a new house.
NO INTERNET!!!!!!!!! I am using my mobile phone as a modem. But that cannot last forever. When we moved in-Centurylink said at least 2 months. Comcast said at least a month. Neither has contacted me yet. I will start my bug the shit out of them campaign Monday. If they say they will take longer-the only other option is satellite. Anyone use it? Likes? Disilkes? Speeds? Contract? Thanks in advance. |

If you're planning to play games or watch netflix or something, don't bother.
The latency will be so high that it'll be worthless. |

Wonder if it takes 2 months to get installed how long is it going to take to get fixed when something goes wrong?
Never had satellite internet but everyone I have talked to freaking HATES it! Very slow....I would move again!

I had it for seven years before DSL finally came out my way. The lag and down time was horrible.

This is a new development in an established community. Houses around me are from the 60's.
Apparently someone did not run the cable/phone through the development. Which means nothing is there and it will take time to connect to the outside world. Someone, somewhere dropped the ball. Comcast has a wire up to the house-but not live yet. Centurylink has nothing. They will get harassed weekly.

It's better than nothing. Living in the country our dsl speed was in the slowest 5% of the nation. Satellite beats that by quite a bit but if you're used to hi-speed then you'll be disappointed. Caps are a real pain as well. I pay about $60 a month but have a 10 gig cap. They have another for about $90/month that's about 15 gig or you can buy additional cap space at $10/gig. We're on restriction about 10 days a month because I'm a cheap bastard. They also have a line of sight wireless out here that's a much better deal but you have to have l-o-s to one of their towers. Have had minimal problems with weather outages from really heavy rain/cloud cover but with a wet heavy snow you may have to clear the dish off.

Pass on satellite. I'd see if one of the neighbors will let you leech off their wifi for a few bucks for the time being.
