My cable signal was way worse than my satellite signal is, even in heavy snow.

I take great joy in watching the AOL commercial where the spammer smacks into the closing glass doors. I’m looking forward to future commercials whereby he might be pushed in front of a city bus.

Actually, I’m remembering the Dead Cat books from the 80s and wondering if I might revive the line with 101 Uses for a Dead Spammer.

Nasty spammers! A suicide cult? That sounds far to kind, how about an elephant sodomy cult?

Sory for the nasty words :)

For TV only, Satellite is a pretty good option. Here in Auckland, New Zealand the only way to access a wide range of channels is to sign up for Satellite service. Cable service is only avaliable in certain suburbs in our capital, Wellington, and Christchurch.

From what I’ve heard it’s pretty reliable although there is a national outoage at least twice every year when the sun and the satellitee are in position where the sun blocks out the service — but only for minutes at a time and only 2x each year.

But I agree with Eric regarding Satellite Internet. I would go for Cable/ADSL or even Wireless but not Satellite if I could. A company sold satellite internet here in the late 1990′s and lots of people complained about the quality of service and eventually it was dropped as soon as ADSL had decent enough coverage.

I hear that satellite is no match to cable when it comes to reception. Any thoughts on this? A friend of mine told me that he’s tried it and has since switched back to cable because he didn’t care for his internet connection being “intermittent.”
