Yep, it just comes down to money. If WB can make it there might be a satellite expansion. Terribly expen$ive business...

Out here in Nevada our Verizon phone company is a third world operation. They are still using old copper pole hung wire here so no DSL yet. Cable has been here 15 years but just recently upgraded so I could finally get 3000/256.

Up until satellite internet I paid $80 a month to have dialup. For me satellite was cheaper than dialup.

The reason, I had to rent a pair of wires over to an exchange with local AOL service. Try that for 10 year$..     

Here's a speed result mid afternoon

Uploads have been all over the place and download speed has went up a little. System was very stable up until about 2 weeks ago and varies greatly from one test to another. Spoke with support and they admit overcrowding (at least on my satellite, G-11)

You just love picking on us satelite dudes. 
Bite me. 

You guys do know there is one slower group you could be picking on if you get bored, the dial-group.  ;)

No problem, when you do comparisons and questions and such. It will be easier. I thought I left you a  link in there. Sorry if I did not. 
Pretty nice speeds by the way.  Real nice U/L by the way.
