[ale] OT: How fast is your connection, and how much do you pay?

[Chris Fowler]

Actually read this:

http://www.starbandusers.com/truth.htm

>From that link:

Some protocols are slow

Starband plainly states on their site that they don't work with "real-time"
technologies such as Telnet, VPN, on-line gaming and voice / video over IP,
but people clearly overlook this and jump right in anyway and then start
complaining because it's so slow.


I guess I'm out.  I need VPN and telnet

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
