I am looking at buying a piece of rural property, where there is no cable or DSL available. It looks like the HughesNet satellite internet would be the only option. They claim to have download speeds up to 8mbs and upload up to 2mbs...but it seems to me there would be some kind of ping/latency issues. I was just wondering if anybody here has one of those connections? Thanks ShakaZulu Awards

Gaming online was impossible. If you can afford it, check with your local phone company to see how much a partial T-1 line would be per month if they already have the right cable installed in your area. Unfortunately it's the price we pay for country life, but well worth it to live there in my opinion. Awards

Don't do it. Awards
