For business users in rural areas I don't think that "gaming" is their main concern.

| This isn't the same as Bell had offered, this is a 2way communication through the dish not using the phone line. Yes Elvis, its not meant for gaming or high traffic downloads but is a better solution than dial up service with speeds upto 2mb per second. We hooked up over 200 customers to date and all seemed satisfied with the service. |
