Cob: Satellite Internet - The Future is Now!!!

[Abe Connally]

:)

Yes, it is true, you can live in the middle of no-where and not even have a
telephone, but you can still check your cob-list email, folks!

I use http://www.direcway.com for my service.  They are great.  The cost is
kinda high, but it is better speeds than DSL.  I pay just under $60 USD per
month for the service.  The equipment is made by a company called Pegasus.  Look
them up on your favorite search engine - http://www.dogpile.com

The equipment cost me about $400 USD, and installation was about $200 USD, so it
is not a cheap alternative.

You do need a clear an unabstructed view of the southern sky (mine is kinda
pointed southwest, and I am in west Texas).  If you don't have a great view, put
the thing on a pole.

Anyhow, that's the info folks.  I have been using it for over a year, and I am
completely satisfied.  I love reading my cob discussion in the middle of
no-where, while sipping coffee and gazing at the mountains (in between cobbing,
of course).
