Must be nice...I was just able to finally get DSL here a few weeks ago! And cable data -- forgetaboutit. Have/had DirecWay satellite for 3 years and it was actually extremely reliable and download speeds were quite good (approx T1 speeds). The connection latency is the big downer of the satellite-based ISP's; it rules out VPN or VOIP entirely.

Does anybody else find it ironic that in the days of the >$500K median home prices, and massively overbuilt and underutilized data infrastructure thanks to .bomb VC's, that we still don't have ubiquitous broadband?!?!?
