I'd be interested to hear about experiences with satellite Internet service. I recently became a customer at the cabin in the woods where I go to write books and have had some ups and downs. Wouldn't mind hearing input on the following issues I've been confronted with.
1. Router selection and connection. Does your satellite service recommend models and offer installation service, or at least advice?
2. Getting a phone line established using the same connection. Are these as reliable as a land line? I don't use the phone much out there.
3. Data Usage. I still have business to take care of, which requires uploading, downloading and installing new software. Are there any satellite services that can give me enough bandwidth to last the whole month/payment cycle? I ran out of the 15 Gigs on the first tier in my first week of service. (granted I was getting everything set up) But, I'm a little discouraged about having to do a a bulk of my Internet work in the free zone/middle of the night. That's a better time for writing....
Anything you have to share would be greatly appreciated.
