Of course not,the problem is when you CAN'T get broadband,or DSL or anything other than 28.8 dial-up.
I've been a Beta tester for Wildblue for a couple of months and I'm totally satisfied.
Tired of dial-up but refuse to plink a bunch of money down for satellite (already have DirecTV but the internet receiver is a whole different set-up and installation fees).Cable and DSL has been about a mile down the road (where the city limits start) for about 5 years now. Still waiting for access. My 56k normally gets about 26400 to 37300 bps. Very frustrating!
