I wouldn't use it (Score 1)

I've got a friend that is using DirecWay as he is in a similar situation where cable & dsl are not availble in his area (way out in BFE)... He had told me though he had to go with the business class service so that he could SSH back into his network as it seems they firewall inbound traffic on the residential service. While I was staying with him for a day over X-mas I got to use the connection to check my email back home on the opposite coast and it was fairly slow, but not completely unusable just a bit tiresome.
