Satellite / phone line connectivity?

SkyWay http://www.skywayusa.com/ provides one way satellite internet. Upload via phone, download through Satellite. Starband and HughesNet used to provide it but have went to the 2-Way systems now.

Satelite has less latency than most connections becuase you are technically connected directly to the main hub.....rather than going through any switches so the overall speed is way faster than anything you are going to get using a landline based connection. As far as combining services and having whatever select the best "pipe", whats the point? Dialups fastest speed is going be 56Kbps.....and alomost every single dialup connection is actually capped off at 50 so as to not overload the modem and lines......DSL using the phonelines is capped off based on your level and distance from the switch, but the fastest you can go is 7.5MBps....way faster than dialup but still not the fastest......cable modem is based on your signal but the fastest that'll go is 10MBps....faster than DSL WAY faster than dialup...but comes at a premium price.....sattelite comes in at 5MBps and goes up from there, so whatever you are connected to is going to be the best to use....if cable isn't available and DSL is too far away and you don't want to hassle with hooking up sattelite, then you only have two options left, one is dialup and the other is to use broadband wireless throough a cellphone company...thos speeds are comparable to DSL but tend to have a latency higher than sattelite as it needs to "bounce" a few towers to get to the hub.

That is one of the options that came with original DirecTV satellite internet service. But I have not looked at this in YEARS. Check out their services at http://www.directv.com/

But you can also check HughesNet. Visit http://www.hughesnet.com/

Good luck and Happy Computing!
