Are they really that bad? I've never tried it but I work from home and VPN into my company..someone in my office had the satellite service for a bit and said VPN worked and it was usable. I've never experiences it.
<br><br>I'm looking to purchase land outside of Nevada, IA(78 acres) for a new house but that probably doesn't get DSL or cable. I'm considering trying Satellite prior to buying the land to see if it'll work and I'm also considering talking to some ISPs about putting in a WiMax system..I know one ISP is looking into it and it has a 20 mile line of sight range..I need to see if this land will be able to hit the tower they're looking at for this. Yeah, I might pay $2000 for the receiver but it's not that much..I looked at another house and mediacom wanted $8000 to run a line to the house..800 feet from the nearest pole with cable on it.
