Regarding bandwidth of T1 vs. satellite.
I use VPN over satellite to work from home on occasion but the bandwith is insufficient over Hughes. I bought the commercial quality dish, static IP address and get priority usage(they say). Speed check reveals 1.3MBps download and 330kBps upload speed.
T1 should deliver 1.5MBps. Comparing these two numbers, it would seem there is little difference in speed so I am undecided if I should switch.
What am I missing.
I know I lose about half of my speed over satellite due to the VPN. Would this also be true over T1? Availability would also improve substantially but the main reason to switch would have to be bandwidth for me to make the change. Currently I cannot access many applications from home due to bandwith limitations.
My router is a Netgear 108Mbps that is 802.11b & g capable which does not seem to be the problem with passing bandwidth to my laptop.
