[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5245852, member: 21076"] You have to check for certain with the provider, but certainly not limits like you are used to with satellite. The satellite providers limits are insanely low. With DSL there *might* be a limit but we're talking a monthly limit that is only in place to prevent extremely large amounts of downloading, i.e. downloading 24x7 every day of the month. They are more of a clause to give the ISP a reason to get rid of you. Streaming netflix, downloading itunes, downloading games, game patches, software service packs, etc won't put you over a typical limit (if any) of a DSL or cable provider. Yes. You can connect multiple computers to the Internet and use the Internet at the same time from a wireless router. Even the worst DSL speed is a better experience than a satellite connection. DSL will be lower latency than satellite. This latency is what is going to make browsing the web snappier than when on satellite. I am out in the country and have used satellite before. When DSL first rolled out we could only get a 768k connection and it was still way better than satellite. You'll have to check with the provider what your exact connection speed will be, but it will make for a better web experience than satellite almost regardless of what the answer is. You won't regret switching at all. Satellite works if it is your last resort, but if you have *any* other option - take it. [/QUOTE]
