> Well, we finally did it. Yesterday we had a DirecWay satellite dish 
> installed. This is not the small 18" dish we were used to, but it's almost three feet 
> across. This monster allows us to have two seperate TV's running different 
> programs and most of important, it gave us a broadband connection to the internet. 
> We also set up a wireless network, so every computer in the house is always 
> connected, including my wife's laptop when she's sitting outside.
> It was rather expensive, around $720 for the dish, modem and installation. 
> Our wireless equipment was about another $300 or so. It was absolutely worth it. 
> If you have always had a phone modem, you can't believe the difference the 
> speed will make. I did a 1 1/2 hour downlaod in four minutes.
> E-mail attachments go very quickly. So far we haven't had a single problem

> for everyone I understand, but we had absolutely no other option available to 
> us. We live in a somewhat rural area and the local cable company doesn't offer 
> an internet connection. The phone company doesn't have any plans in the near 
> future of upgrading the equipment out here, so we were stuck.
> The installers knew exactly what they were doing. Two thumbs up for this
