My little dreamy wonderful country house has ONE very major drawback....internet is nearly impossible to get in my area. I have tried getting DSL....no way...not gonna happen anytime soon. There is no cable available....and from what I hear, satellite connection is unreliable so I didn't want to go that route. I want to give the cell phone card a chance but I may from Verizon to Cingular....who knows.
I'll be back soon!!!!

Its wierd, ive never seen you without something for sale!
It was spendy to get into, but was just as good as cable or dsl, in terms of speed.
It is like sat tv though in that in really really bad snow storms it would not work, unless you constantly cleand the dish off, which after about one time is futile, its better to just go sit in the hot tub.
Like the lady says if you got a clear view of the western sky you can get it. And it really is a good sevice.
I dont have it now cause I dont need it, but if I ever did, I would not hesitate to use it again.
Lady at Direct told us to spray PAM cooking spray on our dish and the snow would shed better. Don't know if it works or not. Hasn't snowed enough to find out in the two winters since she told us about it!
Maybe sat net gets bad reviews where you are cause you cant get a good signal, if thats the case Id stay clear.
If you can get good signal, Id definatly consider it.
my property had lots of mtns in the way trees ect, but did have one good west shot that hooked up with the sat link good.
something to consider

Sattelite unreliable? They are pretty reliable! I think that is your best bet!
Trouble w/sat. conn. is the same as sat. tv. A thick cloud and it goes out.Big problem here, in Florida, as we have some of the tallest cloud formations.

It used to be direcWay which also was direct tv,
but the split and sold
now I think the only provider is Hughes net. (spelling wrong im sure)
and maybe more,
thats the only provider i know of here in idaho.
Or get one of those treo or blackberry phones with internet service.

better than pam, use armor all spray! i use it on my ski boots and even the ice that builds up on a long run just pops right off
And Jacob requested that your daughter send her portfolio to his house. Said he needed some new "date night" pics. [}:)][:D]
(What did I miss?)
I'm up and running again.....decided on the internet cell phone addition to the laptop (again.) After all of the digging into everything and hearing what people deal with in this area there is NO perfect solution to my situation. I do too much on line to just do without at this point and my kids need to be on line for school from time to time also....so the added price is worth it....at least I am telling myself that. I plan to list a pile of penny auctions as a celebratory gesture of sorts. Whooooo-hooooo!!! I just added to my monthly bills!!! Penny auction time![:D]
(What did I miss?)
Me getting into a huge fight.
Again.
