DirecWay Satellite Internet:
On one hand I can hold Verizon's Broadband Access card---it's the size of a cigarette pack or smaller---which does everything that two-way satellite internet can do.... Except you have to be in the "right spot," which loosely defined means in a good Verizon digital service area. For "high speed" you really have to be in one of the 50-100 broadband access cities. If you are, you're in gravy.
Or, for the same money per month, you can go with DirecWay. But, you have to shell out some extra monies to get up and running. For a mobile installation, think about $800. I wish I could say the initial installation was easy, but it wasn't. However, I'm assured that with each subsequent installation, the process gets more polished, and hence quicker.
Comparing the two, I'd say that the satellite "two second delay" is quite obvious, but otherwise the speed seems similar. Anybody who's interested in two-way satellite, I'll be glad to provide whatever hands-on information I can... Email me.
