Rich,


With any dish internet, you will have snappy downloads but
uploads will still be through the phone line.
Dsl is good cable is better and a T1 kicks butt.

that is true about some satelite deals. I have one and I like it but I do still have to dial up, but I donload thru the sat. Earthlink offers a two way sat. but it is like $50 a month but it may be worth it

I have cable and it smokes anything short of TI. No more tied up phone lines or waiting forever for graphics to be displayed. Most downloads take only seconds.;-) Are you sure cable is not offered in your area?
