I meant upload isn't any better than dial-up. It takes just as long to send a 1 MB email with satellite as with dial-up. VPN's isn't supposed to work well, either. So using it for staying in touch with the office isn't that great. That being the case, it's hard for me to justify the high price for the service. |

You are correct. Uploads do suck.

I'll be happy if the only thing Spaceway does is improve the upload speed!

Who did you pay off to get that kind of speed?

This is my standard. upon purchase and near renegotiation I got 3-4 times better but never above 128 Kb/sec d/l, within a month of my new 2 year slavery contract speed dropped dramatically, no more laughing at cable guys about my d/l speeds. 3 am and I get almost double on burst but d/ling a patch from their website while on the phone with useless support i got 7KB/sec, dude didn't know what to say... silence from their end and the "Please test every 4 hours and forward the results please." line they use to make you bugger off for a while.
$80 a month for 56k great |
