Sat can be faster than Cable/DSL

but again it depends on how you mean fast

pure raw download speed, or click, and it appears on your desktop.

Sat is very high latency, you have to que them to leech (from places like EOL) but, they can offer 8mbit of speed!


BUT, DSL is now available at 8mbit also.. so depends on how 'technical' you want to go
