[TenTec] Satellite Internet de W1AEL in tennessee

[KC0QA]

Hello Folks,
I have used several different systems including tying multi-modems, 
multiple phone lines, DUN up and Sat down and sat both ways: The LL 
system allowed dependable remote control of some devices. No attempt was 
made to use voice communications, data only.  This was long ago and 
used, compared to today, very primitive devices.

DSL and or cable is not available at my QTH.  We explored multiple 
solutions, including starting and ISP, additionally, we worked with 
several ISP for over 20 years in attempts to obtain Internet (now web) 
access at reasonable cost and speed.

Today I use Wildblue. Wildblue is, by far the best ISP, for web access. 
It's NOT cable or DSL, however, Wildblue has provided excellent support 
and service for very heavy data xfer for about 2 years.

I do NOT try to use Wildblue for remote control.

73,
Bill KC0QA
