Day, any chance u have 4g around you? I know a few people that have had better success with tethering internet from cell phone with sprint unlimited plan then going satellite.
Cellphone is crap due to the fact that it costs like $70 a month for a plan that gives you less than 5 gigs of bandwidth per month, which id eat up in ps3 patches in a few days. Same for satelittle, its like $70 for 25 gigs a month and really bad upload speeds that i've read wont let you play mmorpgs worth a crap. My neighbor gets cellphone internet barely, 2 bars on verizon, no at&t or sprint available here.
I also now have wireless internet at 768/128k which translating means I can download stuff about twice as fast as dialup for $50 bucks a month instead of $10 a month, its a 1 yr contract with me not even sure I could play ff14 on it. OR they offer a 'dedicated 1mb connection for $80 a month' which to me means average dsl for 80 bucks a month. I'd do the 1 megabit (bit meaning divide by 8 for a real speed) for $50 but not 80. Cable is like 3 or 5 megabit for 50 to 70 a month after all their stupid fees and taxes here.
In the end I just play my ps3 and wii and take them to work to use the internet if I need to update games.
