Hi Craig, > But where I am I would be useing the Pas 2 service...so if i wanted to use > normal dialup for lower pings when gameing I would want to use modem dialup > for more stable performance.. Yes. It's pretty obvious why you can't play online games proficiently using the "true" Satellite service. For example, outgoing data from an Auckland gaming server would be sent to the US where it is uploaded to satellite and then sent back to you again in New Zealand. > As for 300 hours a month I often do 350...mostly overnight downloading which > i guess wouldnt happen if i had the speed of Ultra I'd guess your time usage would drop dramatically (why worry about downloading something overnight when you can download it in an hour? And continue to surf at the same time with virtually no noticable loss in speed). So a 300 hour flat-rate limit shouldn't be a worry. Let's just hope the service withstands all the hoards of new subscribers :-) Regards, Adam
