Thanks that is not super fast but blows the doors off of Wildblue which
I cancelled last month.I was getting ping times of 2800ms at peak with
Wildblue.I had to go to dialup to load web pages.
I have one way satellite now which gives me ping times of 500-700ms most
of the time.It is faster than any 2 way satellite will ever be,but You
have to use the phone to make it work.
