Your post reminded me that I have been longing for more speed and have just 
about got my husband convinced that it would be o.k.  We have a satellite 
dish with Dish Network.  I am pretty sure I could get high speed with them. 
G, since you are using the satellite, do you often have problems with 
weather breaking up the signal?  I think the guy who recently upgraded our 
equipment told me it would cost about $50. a month.  Is that about right? 
And did you have to purchase any additional equipment?
