I am in an area where I can only get Satellite or a HSDPA service. I went with Optus. I wouldn't recommend them to others. I am not sure what satelite services you are looking at, but generally the latency is so bad voip isn't an option. I am not a big fan of Telstra, but they do have the best HSDPA network in the country - by a country mile :) When I looked at it a sat service with decent speed and quota was as expensive if not more expensive than Telstra's Next G products. Their wifi router is pretty decent too, we used one at StixCampNewstead a few weeks back and there were no complaints from the 50 or so geeks there. VoIP works well over the next G network too Don't just reject an option cos there is the orange T on the box :) Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
