How well do these systems work?

2-way satellite "high speed" internet access.

Anyone with experience with these systems? Hidden costs?

Looks like a good $99 month solution - if it works.


500ms ping time minimum... So count on lots of lag...

Some don't network very well...

None will work when it rains hard or the sun is in transit (summer / winter
soltice)...

All end up with more customers than they can actually support (whether it be
on the transponders, gateways or internet bandwidth)...

They all limit how much you can download, whether they tell you they do or
not...
