Randy's comment about Dway upgrading their product is true but you must remember that Dway's bread and butter come from corporate accounts and not the individual users - like us. It's beats the heck out of dialup if you're mobile or just SOL out in the boon docks somewhere. I don't think their new product and pricing are going to radically change anbody's mind about their service. FAP, speed & latency are always issues and if you want more bandwidth you will be dropping some major cash to get it. For example if I want to upgrade to the new 7700 or 7000 I need to pay approx. $2500 (US). All that for a dish that is roughly .2 meters larger and a 2watt BUC. Way too expensive for this day and age of technology. I feel sorry for the VARs who are rying to make a living installing this 'new' stuff. They will have to endure the ire of a lot of current customers. Good for CR to call a spade a spade - ITHO. There's still hope - somewhere.............. -- DW6000 CE \| XP Pro/SP2 \| WRT54G Router \| SatMex5 117W 970mhz - Sig ~92 \| AMD Althon 64 3.2GHz

As long as consumers (or commercial accounts for that matter) have expectations that satellite internet should be the same as terrestrial service, there will be plenty of "ire" to go around; however, when VAR's set realistic expectations to customers you will have much happier campers. Let's all sing it together again "Satellite bandwidth is expensive and slower than DSL, Cable and T1's"
