DirecWay is not good for interactive sessions (Score 1)

My Pops has DirecWay in S.C. On 2 separate occasions I've gone down and tried to work remotely using Terminal Services and SSH. Both are very sluggish to the point where they are unusable, I've looked at the icmp round trips and they are often 500-2000ms. Both times I unhooked my laptop from the RJ45 and got on dial-up at 28.8Kb/s which was better.
