I always wondered how the Satelite internet connection worked. Is it the only option where you live?
Satelite is our only option because we live in a very rural area, and there’s a mesa between us and the cell phone tower that would give us some options.
Because we don’t have tv and I’m home alone alot, I purchase 17,000MB/30days. With normal surfing, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levine, etc. my usage runs about 60% over 30 days. I kept an eye on usage during the debates.
It’s a little slow, but for home use not a problem.
No streaming problems unless the wind blows hard enough to vibrate the dish...momentary.
Carbonite ate up so much bandwidth we were at max usage for days. Because our usage is on a 30 day cycle it took a couple weeks to get out of the red zone...
Big thing is to go off line when not in use.
