tnx blue,i wanted 2 reply to ur post while replying at the freakin computer problems thread also. it seemed i replied twice to my thread and forgot this one

anyways,
i wouldnt know how fast or slow the sat connection is as i have never seen one

.infact ,i have never seen a fast connection

im just stuck with this damned 56kbs modem that is somehow even slower than a 28.8 kbs modem .however ,i thnk u can combine the sat connection with any other one (modem ,dsl ,......) .there is the multilink option in the properties of the connection file .
does any1 think it is possible to get sat connection without getting a service 2 install it for u (i.e do it urself).
cause u are always recieving ,y cant u recieve internet then?

yeah,so i have heard.
but how would u actually recieve internet data via sat .
i mean all the company does is tell ur pc how 2 recieve the data .it i dont think the company tells the sat how to send would it?

I would think that it works like cable or satellite TV, you recieve the signal and you have the approriate authorization and you can decode it, or something like that...

That signal gets sent everywhere, just a matter of recieving and decoding...
