Re: Like your Direcway, Hambone???
I used to have a one way sys also. I started having problems with connecting. My dial up is so slow at home, I assume because of remote location.
When one Saturday morning I got mad and ordered the two way.
Install guy did take a little while to get there. I am happy with the system now. Upload is not as fast as I thought it would be. Download is very fast. Even as slow as upload is it is still faster than my dial up service was.

Re: Like your Direcway, Hambone???
I heard all the one way sytems are gradually going away...Any body else. Due to all the interest in the 2 way sat systems. I have read all the specs and talked to a few folks that sell and install them. I'm a bit of a gamer so I decided to wait and see if I can get a cable modem instead. Since games don't do well with the latency of sat transmision times 3-5 sec.That and the equipment cost and install fees. Know a couple of folks that have them and they love them. But all they do is SURF the web and down load.
Having worked in the communications field a lil bit and dealing with microwave transievers(spelling) I like the no wires bit but I've read and been told they still need a land line to do the initial set up on the 2 way sat system. Which I do not have even a line run to the house the wife and I have always used our NEXTELS.
Which I have considerd adding nextels modem service (which I have used for hr and hrs and is average speed of 33,6K+) to my phone but at $55 pluse internet service well $$$$$ again.
