| Broadband in my book:
To be broadband, it must:
- Have data speeds comparable to DSL, Cable etc
- Have latency comparable to decent quality DSL, cable etc (on this, satellite fails)
- Have stability comparable to decent quality DSL, cable etc, which is in my experience with both around 95% uptime (on this, satellite fails: watch it die in fog, rain, snow, sleet, cloud cover, and when you accidentally bump the dish)
- Have stable speeds (on this, satellite fails except at 2am)
- Have priceing comparable to DSL, cable etc (on this, satellite fails: $700+ install anyone? Not to mention from what I've heard from alot of satellite users here, first install usally fails) |
