New Hope for Dialup Members?

[GF]

GF,
What  is the problem with Hughes other than the $~75 per month? I have the same problem, am 3miles away the phone station, too far for DSL.

Problem I ran into with Hughes was it did not support VPN connections such as Cisco VPN's.   Also it was dog slow when going to https sites, http sites were ok, hit an https site and and was like using dialup tried all kinds of different https sites and all were slow.  Also having a teen boy he liked downloading exceeding the Fair Access Policy, they then throttle you down to dial up speeds.  For $80 a month it definitly was not worth what I was getting.

   I would look into a couple of routers with patch panels and bounce the wireless from a location or friend that has DSL to your house, the patch panels I used are capable of 9 miles one direction with line of site and 18 miles if you have two with line of site.

Why? We size them so they don't take for ever to load.  :-\

I can see a photo intense page getting a little slow though.
