I bought a DirecDuo dish and receiver about 25 years ago, before you could get “high speed internet” 3G speeds on your cell phone. It used your phone landline to send info out and the dish to get signals back. I never did get it to work right. I learned that it is better not to be an early adopter if you can help it.

We are hoping to move to a more rural area soon, so I hope this works out well. Even where we are now however, trees obstruct our view of equitorial stationary satellites.

And yes I know that spacex’s starlink uses low earth orbit satellites.

I was an early adopter for both DSL and fiber. DSL was somewhat painful. I understood my tech issues better than the help desk, which didn’t do much for me. And they were ongoing for a long time, before they got it figured out.

Fiber has been much more pain-free, but not painless. And it’s damn fast!

In a rural area Mr. Chainsaw can solve that problem.
