I do a lot of work with Ultimate Satellite Internet, & I think the service rocks for the area I live in. They say that the max download is around 400K /sec but I run at a normal rate of aound 700K /sec with a max jump of 1.25 MB /sec when I was pulling from a site that was near the landline connection at the other end of the dish.

Ultimate Satellite Internet gets its dishes from Harmonic Data Systems & they have what is called an E-1 Router, and it runs Linux. The drivers are there, but due to the large difference in the various Linux Distros, they do not want to support it until there is a larger demand.

I just thought I would leave that opinion.
