<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have satellite and the quality is good other than the latency. Generally a ping takes approximately 1 second which will not do for gaming. Downloads are good though. I would get DSL or Cable instead if it were an option.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>both of these options are dynamic IP only. However, there are 'biz'</FONT>
