Dont get satellite internet, if you can get dsl or cable in your area, get that. Im not sure who your going with, but i know for DirecWay you get a fairly slow speed of around 300K-500k, and they cap your download. And the monthly charge and installation is expensive as hell!

Apokarteron do you have satellite Internet?
Cable and DSL are not available in my area and I have been using dial-up for way to long.

In his sig it says he has ADSL.

Are there any plans that you've heard of about getting DSl in your area? And second, do you live in the middle of the forest with trees surrounding your house?
