Default Re: Sattelite for internet access??

Im no expert by any means, but Ill tell you what I know. Download speeds are upto 700kbs which is a little lower than the slowest DSL speeds. I have heard download is through the satellite, and upload is through your phone line, with maximum upload speeds of 128kps, so while your multitabling experience might be OK, it could put a strain on the rest of the table, if their constantly waiting for your actions. Not to mention the $600 upfront costs and the 15 month contract. If I were you I would look at some alternatives before you jump into that, maybe Verizon Wireless Broadband service.
