raza Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Can anyone tell me wat are the main disadvantages of using the satellite internet connection with 1mb/sec speed ,no threshold and 128 kbps upload??
chilifrei64 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I was looking at a satellite point to point connection to my remote branch 8 miles away. The advantages are you really only pay a startup cost and that is it.. disadvantage.... you are paying a BIG startup costAs far as for regular internet. One of my old clients had that and it was really silly and un-scalable.. you needed specific software installed on the computer which only slows down the pc.. and they restricted how many computers could connect to it which I wasnt happy with...
jaclaz Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I have a Direcway satellite connection and the only problem is the FEE, that is much higher than a corresponding DSL one (and the speed is lower).The Direcway uses a sort of router, so no problem in setting it up, 100% compatible with existing network.jaclaz
LLXX Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Satellite internet connections also have higher latencies which won't matter for web browsing etc. but for gaming it will cause lag.
raza Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 I was thinking about the games stuff how is that possible with the 1 mb/sec connection??
Scubar Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 i have a few friends who are on satellite, they are always complaining about high latency and unreliability. the cost is also extremely high but they dont seem to care about that.
