Because of not having a landline or cable connection available, I need to find a way to connect to the internet. I have looked at 4 or 5 of the satellite providers, but they limit the amount that can be downloaded. For instance Direcway and earthlink reduces your bandwidth after you dl 169megs in 4 hours. Others are even more restrictive.
Hi You didn't say where you are located but depending on where you are you might want to consider Wild Blue satellite service. http://www.wildblue.com/ That's what I use because I'm out in the corn fields of Indiana and there is no other "broadband" service available.While they do have some download restrictions they're a lot more liberal than any of the others I've found, particularly if you choose one of the higher bandwidth packages.
Just a thought.
Wasn't thinking when I sent the original.. I am in Connecticut.. I looked at their site and found that their prices were very competitive, but it looked like the cap for the midprice subscription is 16gigs a month. another thing that bothers is: "In cases of extreme and continued violation of the FAP limitations, your service may be suspended. WildBlue may use other traffic management and prioritization tools to help ensure equitable access to the WildBlue network for all customers. Your WildBlue Internet access is not guaranteed and is subject to this FAP." I would hate to pay the 479 for the equipment just have the service canceled cause I went over for a couple of months...
