I have a friend in Central Fla. Has Direct TV internet.... Awful
Down most of the time. Call the Co., they put a trace and tell him the signal is excellent.
I know nothing about Satellite internet, but have read up on it.
Seems they stick you in a group w/ a finite amount of broadband.
Your fellow groupies may be using up all of it, leaving you in a lurch.

That isn’t the only answer though. When I was there it was the beginning of the month and unlikely that the limit had been reached.

I tried to help them recently when visiting them. Frustrating.
Sad part, it’s their only way other than dialup to connect.

You mentioned Direct TV.

What about Dish Network?

I don’t believe DIRECT TV actually operates an Internet service but partners with HughesNet.
