Satellite computer service   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #102252 of 108373 |
Hello Group
I am needing to find out all I can about "Satellite computer service" (ISP),
pros and cons. Also does anybody know who to contact for this service in the
Yakima Valley, of Washington?

This is for my Grand Daughter who works in her home and has found that DSL does
not do the job. It is just too slow, kind of like dial up in second gear.

Thanks,
Lynn
