[Ti] High Speed Access via Satellite

it would be interesting to hear the speeds that you are getting.
i knew of a 'satellite system' back in germany 3 years ago, where you 
got amazing download speeds,but the upload would be dial-up/dsl 
...which is not good, since you need a good upload bandwith as well (to 
get to larger download rates)
