You mean like what Iridium Satellite Service does?

If you want to stay up on the news and arrange service, eventually, please contact our friend, George Pro at
- he could use the business! He'll send you email updates (that's how I got this one) as things progress.
That sounds great, but still short of details other than it will be high speed.
I could perhaps accept the lag of a satellite, but I can't accept a monthly cap on total bandwidth received. I'm hoping to eventually switch from Direc/Dish TV to internet TV. But a restriction on info received kills that.
So it's still Qwest for me. Reliable service. Just wish they were faster and still hoping for 7 mbs service since I know it's only 3 miles away.
The fair internet usage policy will be revised for this new offering. From what I understand, it will be unlimited between midnight and 4pm and the restrictions between 4pm and midnight are not bad if what you are using the internet for is listening to internet radio & podcasts (our main usage) , general internet spelunking, and email. Netflix seems to be a killer, but with the growth of that industry, I would think that they will put something in place to accommodate it.
We are trying to find a "tool" that we can use now to monitor our usage to ensure what we need to subscribe to.
I have contacted Qwest, now CenturyLink twice regarding this. The latest this week, asking if with the merger, any plans had changed. Still waiting for reply. The first reply that I received was no plans to bring Fiber in (as we are right off 285 and the line is running right up 285 already) to our area.
