I agree with this.. WHEN oh WHEN will satellite STEP it up and.. actually bring in an AFFORDDABLE option for high speed for us in the rural areas anyway? I am THREE miles, to the east and west, of DSL supported areas.. well maybe FIVE.. so I am definitely "out of range", but the "satellite alternative" is definitely NOT price competitive, even the start up cost of about 600 bucks, you do have to cough that up THEN you get rebates... THEN a whopping 60 bucks a month for LESS speed than you could get with DSL for 4X the price, plus as I understand it the latency issues with satellite make it non-viable in terms of on-line multiplay, which I'd be using for my Xbox 360 (at least until I upgrade the POS PC in a month or three).
