deity gets Satellite Internet > 400k/sec
That'll fix the parrots...
Well, until they discover the dish is a nice place to hang out and drop their business....
Haven't got it working yet. The kit just arrived...

Wow, have they got the speed up to 400k/sec now......last time I looked (quite a long time ago admittedly) at the satellite stuff it was rubbish........something to do with really high latency despite the bandwidth.

Is this one way, where you only get the broadband on downloads but your uploads are still through phone lines? If so, when playing, parrots may still be a factor.

Yes, one=way using Sat for d/l and seconf phone line for u/l. Latency is an issue with Sats but not a big deal unless playing realtime games. I live in the bush and will never get cable and I'm too far from thje exchange to get ASDL. I di get the odd parrot though.... Life has its compensations
Plan: Business Sat Up to 400kbps $A60.50 per month for 1GB 26.4 cents per MB (Aust dollar = 56c; 35p)
Damn cheaper than I thought it would be and my employer is paying for it!
I'll consider two-way Sat further down the track - it's cheaper than I thought too.

That's not slapstick.......slapstick is Laurel and Hardy, or Charlie Chaplin. That was just a pun......and a bad one at that.
