I've been using this for about 1.5 yrs.
You can 4-6-8 table whatever.
It will go down on bad weather, maybe 2 times a month. Until the worst part of the storm passes.
There is a bit of lag, but no big deal for poker purposes.
I will leave this link, it is for the Canadian service, which was Direcway.
What you should look at is the K or KU band service, (whatever the equivalent is in the US) its newer, faster and cheaper, than the old (my current) direcway service.
