Why do I keep coming back to this thought? IS it because I'm pessimistic? Cynical? Tomorrow at 10:00 am, it will be exactly 2 weeks! This is unbelievable!
www.getdway.com Satellite Internet $500 to install and $60 a month, or $100 intsall and $100 a month for 1 year.
Geo if they continue to not figure out the problem, and it is not on your end, then you might have no alternative but to seek satisfaction through your states attnery Generals office. At least recover the cost of your down time.
YOU THINK AT&T is evil? Do business with D-way and you'll be hating life real quick like. They require a service contract, and THEY DO NOT SUPPORT their product at all. You have down time, tuff! Speeds down are intermittent and often only as fast as your current phone line. Up loads are horribly slow and agonizingly problematic.
STAY AWAY FROM SATELLITE ACCESS!
Yep, satellite sucks when compared to DSL or Cable, but it is basically storm damage proof, and the down link speed is actually quite good. In the one adventure that I have that actually makes money every month, I rely on satellite connectivity to move data. It is all inbound to me except for some error checking. On the few days a month where weather prevents connectivity it falls back to six phone lines. A 2 hour window is needed on the dish, and that turns into about 18 hours on the POT’s. If both go down, I try to connect remotely with the cable, if that fails, then I get in the pickup and start burning CD’s all over the metro area. Some of them are easy to work with and will hand me the data at the door, but others won’t even give me a local burner to use.
Until I get a T1, I will continue to use the satellite. Once the T1 gets here, then I’ll switch to frame relays and use the dish as the back up system.
A note that OT's to another thread; The first 2K BLaster patch took my RRAS server down! God only knows how much I hate hackers!
