Check out this link and see what the feds are hoping to be the basis to call broadband or high speed internet.

• 200Kbps speeds are no longer considered "broadband." Until this point, the FCC has considered any service that produces 200Kbps speeds in the upload or download direction to be "high speed." With Wednesday's vote, that methodology is no more. Now, 768Kbps, which is the entry-level speed offered by major DSL providers like Verizon, will be considered the low end of "basic broadband," a range that extends to under 1.5Mbps.

Then you can show it to Hughesnet or Wildblue or That guy on the street corner who gets great satellite reception with his tinfoil hat...sure would change a lot of ad's that make you believe you will not need that dialup connection anymore..
In a couple of years the Canadian government may catch up with some definitions as well.

Or we could pool our resources and build an amateur missle to shoot down the sats.........We can say we were testing the anti-satellite missle system for our local militia.  Its our 2nd amendment right lol....

Not to dig up and old topic, but EV-DO Rev A is in my area, Ntelos have it but I can't get answers from there knowledge less sales people, the same sales people telling me it will go at 24Mbits a second!!!!

I tested it on there laptop with an unloaded system, I.E. no users on the system (NEW), and I got 0.5Mbit down and 0.6Mbit up! for an unloaded system boasting speeds of 1.5Mbit a second on an unladen network I would expect to see more then that, load it up and your back to dial up again!

So what is this all about, is it worth the move from Hughesnet? for $10 less a month? is latency still an issue? ANYONE!

Buy one of those plastic vagina sex toys and attach it to the equipment in the best place possible. Then photo yourself giving it the business and send it in to em. If they dont get the message the next one may have to be more blunt. 

I already took a dump on it, trouble is when I went to clean it up, I was unable to tell what was the turd and what was the turd!

As you can see in the above image, the New DW6000 Modems have sleek curves, a nice nutty brown coloring with waves of delight, it comes complete with the dish and I believe this one is pointing towards the Hershey Highway as appose to the Milkyway.
