[AccessD] OT - Internet Access

In my research into Satellite (DirectWay), that is also the upload speed, 50
kbps.  Now they say it is 500 kbps download, which would be that improvement
you are looking for, but I upload a lot of large files to a corporate ftp
site (since I am remotely located) and really need the fast upload speed.
That is why I have DSL (thankfully it is available, cable modem isn't).

Right now I'm on dial-up -- even at 50 kbps, most anything else would be an
improvement. :)

Satellite is slow. It uses a proxy server for all web-based requests. It
hasn't lived up to its hype. You can't even connect a router directly to the
satellite modem like you could on a DSL or cable modem.
