As such Bordernet has decided to terminate the Pan Am Sat Pas 8 broadcast on

(since that email it was pushed back till the end of this month, i think a
few jumped up and down)
i have well over the 25+ clients
the cost of sending someone out to re-align a dish to optarse's B1(clients
all over AU) approx $100 ? some more,some less
plus a  license for each (approx $55 each) purchased from boardernet
works out to around $150 a client.

which is the reason im not so happy about it.

we need sat access for alot of our clients, im not giving them up (i'd put
them on a free multippp before i do that)

the disadvantage of pas8 is the hibis incentive wont happen with it, packets
float into cyberspace never to be seen again
and the latency is well above what hibis will allow.

so i might have to bite the bullet and buy their iSat wholesale
preliminary tests on my end show it to be quite good.

but im intrested in what anyone else has to offer
