Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
satellite internet,
so my phone has been out twice again today. more off than on since moving to the new house.
anyone here using a satellite connection for internet and/or phone.
would really like to tell qwest to go hump themselves.
we do not have access to cable at 8700 ft, so satellite is the only other option.

Satellite is a bad idea in a state that can see so many days of overcast and/or heavy precipitation
my satellite tv service has not had on day out of service in nearly 8 years, rain snow sleet nothing seems to bother it. other than the time it was hit by lightning.

Skybeam is high-frequency radio from a broadcast tower to an antenna on your home. It is highly line-of-sight dependent...even more than satellite.
It must've improved since I had WisperTel several years ago.
Then again, most people have reception from more than one tower. I could only get line-of-sight to the Mt Bailey tower and it was constantly having an issue of one sort or another. My service was down a lot.

I had satellite for a couple years when I was living/working at a camp in a valley by Mt. Evans. Slow, slower with bad weather (snow and rain bad, not cold and cloudy bad), but it works. Given a choice I wouldn't want it again but its better than nothing.
