satellite internet,

Satellite internet is pretty terrible. I will say though that WildBlue is about to launch a new bird though with some new technology, so that may help

so with the fair access stuff what constitutes a download or upload. if you are just cruising the net and post in places like here would that count toward your "limits"?


or are they actually counting what you download? i would assume my email would count.

I have a 400MB limit a day but they have a window (after 11p til 4a) that is not metered.

thanks for that i saw that most do have free time.

how often do you hit that limit and under what kind of use?

They issue you 1 "get out of jail free" token a month. I have used several of these. I have also had to pay an extra $10 to get uncapped when I was not paying attention to a game download on my PS3 did not get finished in the "window".

I do not watch any online TV. Mostly youtube gun or prepping related clips. Just have to watch the meter and slow down when near the limit until the timer restarts. Bad thing is, if you go over the limit, they put a cap on it for 24hrs from the time your exceeded, not until your daily timer rolls over.

I do not recommend satellite internet to anyone (unless there is no other option) I end up staying online 4 times as much as I did when I lived in an area that had high speed internet. It sucks...
