I had it for a year. Nothing else was available.

It was much better than dialup. I had the consumer version ($60.00 per/month) and I really didn't have any problems with it. It does go down in severe storms.

$2K for set up seems like a lot. I think I paid $600.

If you want, I can send you my two-way modem (sticky me). I'm not sure if it will save you much. And you can have my dish too. I live in chicago. All you have to do is get on my roof and take it down.

I am on Direcway satelite, it is far superior to dial-up but not the speed of cable or dsl.

I am also on their consumer version, but the price you mention seems high.

You may want to search for direcpc support forums if you want detailed feedback.
