[AT] OT - Satellite Internet

[Lew Best]

This is basically what I have; it is affected by weather sometimes but
far better than dial-up.  Only internet service is available here (no
TV); about 45 bux a month on 2 yr contract.

BE SURE you can get out of it tho if it "don't work right"; first one I
tried was a disaster; cost 200 bux install & 70 a month; cost me 340 bux
for 2 months of lousy service!

    I have had microwave line of sight for about a year now and am very 
happy with it. Setup and equipment was free and monthly charge about
half of 
satellite. I have the basic service and connect at about 625 KBS,
compared 
to dialup at 20 KBS. It is not affected by rain fade like satellite. I
also 
have television service with them. Total cost for both of them is about 
$75.00 per month.

    I don't recall where you live, but you can log on to the site below
and 
scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your state and it will list
all 
wireless ISP's in your state.  There is a map that shows the coverage of
all 
syatems. Look at the map and see if someone covers your area. The ISP
list 
will tell what areas they cover and their services.
