I am searching for any methods to connect to the internet via "high speed" from the home. Unfortunately I live in an area where there is no DSL, ISDN, cable, etc... I imagine that the only possible option for me would be a satellite provider. Does anyone have any recommendations to which provider (if any) has the best plan/service/price?

Thanks in advance!

did you ask a local ISP if they can provide a fast leased line service, T1 or fractional T1, yet? Satellite might work, but I doubt it's be screamingly fast. Lots of distance to cover and equipment hops too.

I have the same problem. But this is where it pissing me off. the local internet company only lets you on for 120 hours Cable or Reg connection. Which sounds like alot but when your on disabilty. You run out fast. Any otehr isp is long distance call 5 cents a min. I m trying to force dsl or another company up here. Any ideas let me know.

120 hrs a week or month? Either sucks when you are used to 24x7

They are part of Dish Network,You can buy a complete system through Radio Shack or find a Dish Network dealer and upgrade your system.$59.00 per moth at Radio Shack through
MSN or $69.00 US per month through Starband
They claim 400 download and 100 upload not possitive on specs.Have never used it so dont know the quality.
Worth a look though.
