DSL providers

[deejay33]

Hello,

I am doing research for an employee who will be telecomuting starting in 2003. His new office(home) is located in a rural area. Neither cable or DSL is available. I did however find some plans for satalite DSL that will work. On is by Earthlink through Directway and the other is DirectTV through Directway. Has anyone had serverce with either of these companies? Any information about the service through them or satalite service in general would be very helpful. Just fyi the Earthlink lists 400kbs downstream and 60kbs upstream for $69.99 a month and DirectTV lists 500kbs downstream and 50 upstream.
Thanks for any help.

If this remote user is going to be using VPN to access your office, you may want to look at other alternatives such as ISDN. The latency over satellite is quite high and can cause problems with VPN.
