Does anyone know if this 2 way satellite service is any good or atleast decent?

Here is their URL http://www.telecrossing.com/residential/pricing.asp

Does anybody know anybody that has it?

I'm interested in this technology and was wondering how it performs, mainly for online gaming.

Thanks in advance

The minimum ping time is 430 milliseconds, just like listening to Christiane Amanpour. You won't be happy.

Now, my friend Kiefer sells a device called a transubstantiator that eliminates the excessive delay. Let me know if you are interested, I'm the exclusive sales agent.

when you say eliminates the excessive delay, do you mean drastically, like 100ms? or drop it to 200 or so?

I am interested in this service! CAUSE someway, somehow, and Hell dosen't freeze over, I'm gonna drop this sh_tty 1 way cable crap, even if it means going back to 56k through AOL!!!!!

Thanks

Not slamming you here, Kip. Just a question: Is using the SpeedGuide forum for promoting a product for your own personal profit in line with the rules here?
