A friend had that some 20 years ago and the latency was terrible—something like 200-300 ms. He went to a microwave option until DSL came by.

If you have DSL access, consider getting two drops (installs) out of your wiring. You can bond them together with various routers and get up to twice the performance.

I've got two options, due to living way out in the woods.
Satellite or DSL, because I'm literally at the end of the phone line with AT&T.
My next door neighbor, about 1/4 mile down the road is on a different small town phone line, and cellular service is out of reach at home.
I can drive down the road about 3 miles and get a cell tower with a couple of bars of service.

My latest latency test was about 185m, and that was around 5 am local time.
Do you have to pay for two separate data lines to get that, with internet service cost on both lines ?
