I hear it's good though, except for the uploading, which is by modem only.
But they live in an area where DSL and cable are still not available to them, so satellite is their best option.

You'd think the slow upload wouldnt be a problem in most cases, but the fact than any connection requires communication, and thus uploading of info, and the slow latency of a modem, it must make it real shitty sometimes... I've always been curious to see how well it works.
Obviously, it has to be better than normal modem, though, so I don't blame anyone for getting it. Some places with shitty phone lines get less than 20k connections with their 56k modem... imagine that.
