MxxCon Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 most likely you'll still have to use your modem for upload. so that's 33.6 up. d/l is usualy around 400kbit. expect huge ping times becuase signal is going to space and then back down. if you are too cheap to pay for normal boardband or can't get it then go w/ satellite, otherwide get dsl/cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
