Always offer their services in cities? It annoys me, I mean I know the cash options are better there but those guys already have high speed options.

erm.. is it may be because they provide their service via line of site and they need to be close enough to recieve it?

one of our clients gets internet connectivity via a sattelite wireless to another building in the city. about 5mb up and 5mb down.. plus its never been an issue at all.

it wasnt that bad going a few miles..
actually, i made a boo-boo.. i meant satellite dish, not satellite.. the source and destination are both on the ground, about 10 - 20 miles apart.
obviously i never played games over it as it was an office! but there was never any issue with vpn or remote connectivity, and was actually completely stable.
