i am thinking of getting a sat Internet provider and want to know if wild blue or Hughes net can play wow?

i have dial up now and lagg all the time and was wondering which of these two are better for gaming i need to run my 360 and wii and my computer nbot at the dsame time but be able to and they both say they have a fair partice act and limit your downloads and i was wondering if gaming is a download or upload? or if you can give me a name of a nother sat company cable isnt an oppion in my area

Why am I limited to dial-up because of my area?

Here is the situation. I live a mile from a major U.S. highway, yet I cannot get a Broadband connection. Yes it is kind of in the country, but should that actually matter? We deal with Verizon, whom does our dialup connection, but it is terrible at best. Verizon does not offer DSL for our location. Hughes net is too expensive, so that is not the answer. Am I stuck with dialup until I move? What is the best way to deal with this problem? If Verizon can’t service us, does that mean other phone companies cannot?

Is Hughes Net a good internet choice for me?

I’ve been forced with dialup for 5 years. There is no DSL or cable ISP’s where I live, so I’ve been with my local ISP for years and now NetZero, both horrible. I got a flier from Hughes Net a few months ago, but I didn’t go with it because supposedly Verizon was coming here. No such luck and it’s not coming soon, so I’m reconsidering Hughes Net, or any satellite provider, assuming they’re good.

So as I ask, is Hughes Net good for internet, for DSL speeds? I really just want to download things in seconds/minutes rather than hours, watch videos, and upload work in peace. I’ve heard mixed things about this ISP, but at this point, I really need fast internet and am willing to pay for Hughes if gets me a good, reliable connection.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks alot in advance.
