Hey Recluse, I just moved to the lake full time and also signed up for the BPL through Cullman Electric. Definitely not as fast as the cable internet I've enjoyed for over ten years, but it does beat dialup. My neighbors use the satelite service and they're always complaining about using up their bandwidth everyday, and then how slow it becomes afterwards. Their main complaint is that they're allocated so much bandwidth per day, and then it resorts to a very slow speed, but on the days they're not around, that bandwidth is lost.... So eventhough they might be away from home for a couple of weeks a month, those days are gone forever... In other words, it's like cellular service and "Rollover" minutes... Satelite service DOES NOT have "ROLLOVER" bandwidth so eventhough you might not use the total allocated per month, it's still allocated on a per-day basis. Hope that helps.... I did ask the BPL people when they expect the faster service to become available, and I didn't get a straight answer. Basically, they don't know.
