I am getting a Satellite modem and was wondering if anyone here using one? I will be getting a 2 way Satellite modem in November. Are they any good?

Spanky here...

Hmm... 2 way eh, interesting, are ya out in the boonies>?

I know the older 1 way were decent for downloading but had high latency so weren't much use for gaming or even really quick surfing.

ANd you had to still have an isp and it still tied up your phone line.

2 way on the other hand could be cool, but i wouldn't be supprised if the latency was still high.

I did hear about a low orbit sat system that was supposed to go up around 2004 that was 2 way high speed, low latency.

What does the company say about latency and speeds>?
