I suppose for those of you who have satellite internet alternatives, I would definitely go your route. But when you are in a remote area, no
utilities, off grid... you do what you have to do.

Agreed. Given a choice between DSL and Satellite, DSL wins in cost and reliability.
Nonetheless, someone without DSL should grab BajaBound's system. I'd take it in a heartbeat but I'm too far away to get it.

Just heard from the *band dealer I do installs for that not only is *band not going away but they are going to offer the $49.99 monthly service plan
again. I have done some testing in BCN and found that the signal from the new sat is about 95% as strong as the old sat. Well within the parameters
that *band says is necessary for reliable service.
Schwlind,
If I can help you with the repoint I'd be glad to. If it could be arranged while I'm traveling between San Diego and Bahia I could swing in and
repoint it and be on my way and not have to charge you a travel fee. Let me know if this helps.
Bajabound,
I'm interested in your system, could I come and get it in mid July?

The question is
whether we'll lose *Band in BCS.
For the most part, BCN looks to be well within the footprint of the newer satellite by either map.

Anyone have a starband connection that they are going to give up. I need to connect in to a system that is activated right now.Evidently they won't
let me hook up with an old system event though it does work with their new sat. But I could do it if it is an existing acct. Does that make any sense
,anyway anyone have any suggestions or help,k

Do you need an existing account that is at the $49.99 so that you can get that monthly rate? If so then send me a U2U and I will give you the info of
the dealer I work with and he will probably be able to help you out. If that is not what you need then give me more info and I will try to help you.
