just curious what kind of download speeds do you get with your package? Is it near the advertised speeds or is it way lower?

I really think I may go for it since they have a lease dish fee of only $199. I know the price is way more than comparable cable or dsl though but its my only option. Do you think 1.0mb/s down 200kb/s up should be good enough to game on? $69.95 is pretty steep for those spec's but i'll be able to drop my 2nd phone line and current dial up ISP. So really the difference would only be $30 bucks.
Don't even think of gaming on satellite internet service, the upload speeds are junk. It is meant for one thing, downloading, not uploading.
Plus it's very expensive, 70 bucks a month for 1.5Kbps is pretty steep. Plus you have to buy the dish and everything. I have directv already so I have the dish and all, and I looked into it when I was changing service, but the price and the upload speeds are what turned me away from it. Luckily it wasn't my only option, I ended up going to DSL.
