However for downloading large files it was miles faster as once you get started the latency beomes irrelevant.
That is really what interests me. I haven�t been able to upgrade my Mdk 10 because my present connection is so unreliable. It disconnects all the time....and my phone line drowns when it rains. wouldn�t do in Scotland :-) Fortunately, it doesn�t rain often here

Mary, before this thread gets too far gone .... I researched gettin a satellite connection several years ago. I also had a friend at the time (Carolinas, USA) that got one. His involved about $700 worth of equipment, and a separate dial up(land line) connection for the uplink. It was also very fee expensive.
I can't believe a jurisdiction/gov'mt that provides free service would require such an expenditure. I really think Google or contacting your local provider would get you better info than you're gettin here.
As to rain, yes, satellite will be subject to interruption as t-storms pass over obscuring the path to the satellite. Are you sure they're not planning wifi service? Seems that would make more sense.
