Satellite internet

**newone11** · October 28th, 2004, 05:01 PM

I have satellite internet (www.direcway.com)

I am restricted in my uploads to around 56k modem speed, however my downloads are in excess of 1Mb.

It is my understanding that I would only get 56k download speeds because that is all I can upload....is this correct?

Thank you!!

depending on the p2p program you used, most are double, lol, so you should stay away from emule , and bit torrent, edonkey2000 is ok, so is ares, shareaza, etc etc

its not normal. your upload speed should be about 500Kb/s. and yes, you have to stay away from emule. for me it would be as staying away from internet :D

Do u live in an area where Cable Is not Available. We had a choice of Satellite or cable and we took cable. I run three computers and my phone service(Vonage) through my cable and my speed is 4.0Mbs down and 256Mbs Upload. I took the highter speed cause of my computers and phone.

Unfornately yes! We have 3 choices

1. Nothing
2. Dial up
3. Satellite

Can anyone recommend which p2p or a live link site would be the best for me?

Thanks for your time!!
