[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: High Speed Internet "in the sticks"

[Minh Duong]

If I had a choice, I would go with cable before
satellite.  Satellite is metered meaning you have to
pay for the amount of data you get. Plus you need a
phone line for uploads I think.  Speed and performance
between the two are comparable.  But in some places,
the only thing you can get is satellite.
