I do not deal with satellite services. I had the choice of DSL or Cable Modem
for broadband access. I choose Cable Modem since I am getting TV, Digital
Phone, and Broadband access in one package. If I used DSL, I would have had to
deal with two companies vying for the services. The DSL company offers Phone,
DSL, and Satellite TV.
My upload speeds are about 2 to 3 times standard modem speeds, so
uploading/sending large files can be a long process. The DVDs take over 5
hours
to upload [each] to the web site and every time a new version comes out, I have
to do at least 1.3 GB of uploading.
Hi :)
It is a shame we can't quite organise snail-mail (postal services) to deliver
new releases to people with limited download capabilities. A few people do
seem
to manage it on a limited scale but hopefully this will be a growth market.
As for downloading in order to re-upload to another server elsewhere is there
some way of transferring directly so that we can bypass the download?
Ubuntu-One and other Cloud services would be useful if they could offer such
functionality.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
