You don't want satellite internet unless that is the only thing you have in your area ... Hardline is always better but only if you have fiberoptic lines or rg6 cable and not rg59 coaxial cable ... rg59 will burn and does not allow both audio and video to go through as good as rg6 ...

You can tell if you have rg59 or rg6 because rg59 coaxial cable is very thin and you can bend it easily ... rg6 is about the thickness of a nickle and you can't bend it as easily ..

I used to work for timewarner, verizon and comcast so believe what I tell you ... stay away from satellite internet if possible and worry about your upload speed for gaming ...

Thanks Cheech. I will make sure I get hardline Internet w/RG6 cable and with at least 10 mbs up and 15 down.

Covie, you want to go with the Windstream then. I know you said that the price was higher, but like Cheech said... NEVER go satellite unless that's your only option. Most of them know they're shit and make you sign a contract... and they're damn near impossible to break out of. Go with Windstream.

How's the cell reception in your area? What network picks up the best?

Verizon is great on top of Covie Mt. I usually have 2-3 bars at 3G, but we are having a Satellite put in that will boost our signal to 4G and full signal.
