Satellite, in its' present one-way form, sucks BIG time... Useless for on-line gaming (too much lag time), plus you still need a phone line. Wait until January - there will be two-way satellite trials commencing (I have my name on the list to trial the system). I can't give you much more information than that (apart from the fact that I don't know any more yet, I was sworn to secrecy by the installation technician that told me - and I'm in the process of converting him to Linux !!), but as soon as the trials begin, I will post more.
