Internet Surveillance

the question is....

have you used it while you were in baja???

there's something called "fair acess policy" (fap)
if you use too much bandwith from the SAT they "cut you off" or "slow you down"

does star band "cut you off" or "slow you down" for 24 hours when you download too much

have you watched tv from it from your home in the states as it advertises?

does that feature work?

interesting toy

Here in Loreto it will just give them something else to steal. Even items that they have never seen and have no idea how to use aren't safe. They stole my neighbor's digital video camera and left the battery charger, which was on the table next to it. Go figure.

Jeez. Roasty! Your title plus my paranoia had me worried.
I guess I am now reasonably assured that you're not watching me.

Starband will slow you down to dial-up speed, until your 7-day average falls below a certain threshhold. They won't cut you off. The 7-day allowance for usage is 976MB, but after months of trying, I haven't been successful in getting them to define exactly what that is. If you do exceed the limit, you can call them with a tearful story, and they'll probably give you a bye, at least once.
