I've tried to keep my bitching and moaning to a minimum about not having any convenient highspeed internet access options available where I live. I finally bit the bullet and had a Hughsnet satellite connection installed.

I can tell it's not quite as fast as other types of highspeed access and there's a slight delay between requesting a page and the download of it. As they say in the promotional info, not recommended for Voice over IP (VoIP) or "twitch" games. Still, my housemate Fierce Celt and I can be online at the same time, a massive improvement over taking shifts with the computer phone line. Costwise, this will probably save us money in the long run, between dropping ISPs and the extra phone line.

Happy happy, joy joy.
