From Wild Blue's Web site:
... the Anik F2 satellite is one of the largest commercial satellites ever manufactured, and is in a geostationary orbit 22,500 miles above the equator at 111.1° West Longitude.
That speed of light thing can be a pesky thing to overcome... :-)

Someone in my building mentioned signing up with WildBlue and I have not heard any
complaints from him so far. I don't know what the latency is like, I don't think

I've used DirecWay, customer support is horrible, latency is high, the only
time you really see the speed is in the downloads, other then that it's
nothing like DSL or cable for browsing, more like twice a model speed,
based on my experience.
