I am actully a Starband installer. I have mixed feelings about the system. If you are looking just at download speeds, you will get plenty of bandwidth. But from what i have noticed its the page to page surfing where u will take the biggest hit. On just normal websurfing its faster than a dail up modem, but not by a lot, due to the fact that the signal has to travel up, then down, then find the data, send back up and back down. (also the gamming it pretty much out of the question) But i will say that they 360 system has improved it emensly. Its hit or miss, i have some customers who just fly, and some who arent as lucky.
