I am moving and looking for companies that allow internet work using a satellite connection rather than a DSL or cable co. as neither of these are available in the area. Thanks if anyone works using satellite or knows of companies that allow this.

Companies that definitely allow satellite connection. sm.
I have done an extensive search here and have noted the names of a few companies that allow MTing by satellite besides MedQuist. I'd just like to see if there have been any recent additions of companies that I can go this route with.
Yes, I do know the limitations of most companies with regards to the satellite connection but it is the only high-speed I have available and I need to make a change from MQ and just need to know what companies' systems are compatible with satellite.
Thanks in advance. 
companies accepting satellite connection
Cannot get DSL/cable (no way). Need suggestions on companies hiring with satellite connection. Thank you.
Satellite is not a stable connection. Not in terms of HIPAA or sm
privacy but in terms of stability of speed and signal. Because the signal waxes and wanes, it can cause disruptions in connection. They might not seem evident when you are surfing the net or checking your bank balance, but a VPN connection such as one that is needed to do transcription for many hospitals needs a solid, stable connection. This connection can be fast or slow, as long as it does not go faster and then slower and then faster and then out and then in. A satellite signal does this constantly, by the second, and it causes disruption in the flow.
Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
MDI-FL - MDI-MD - NO CONNECTION
There is no connection between MDI-MD and MDI-FL. I have not heard good things about FL.
I have been with MDI-MD for over 2 years, have never run to of work if I was willing to type a secondary account, have had very positive supervision and QA, and am making an excellent line rate. I wish I had found this company earlier in my career because it's great.
Unfortunately, I am just totally burned out on transcription in general. This pay rate is what is keeping me here another year or 2 until retirement.
No connection as far as I know...is there?

FutureNet/MQ connection?
I know this has been brought up many times, but on the MQ web site there is a question to Frank that states which programs you call which office for and guess what -- FutureNet was mentioned as one of their platforms.
I always felt they were connected, I knew Carole fromYOG used to have something to do with Futurenet and then she sold to MQ so......
Is there any connection between MQ & Spryance ??
Just curious !!!!

Do you know if they allow a dial up or satellite internet connection? Do they have employee status or IC?

What is the connection between AAMT and HPI?
What is the connection between AAMT and HPI? I was printing off articles to send to my Aunt. The ads reminded me of a circle jerk site the way they were saying use our materials AAMT will certify your school.
What kind of connection do you need?
I'm still waiting for a fast connection (one is coming within 5 months), but sometimes go to WIFI hot spots to work. Does TransTech's platform work with any kind of connection? Some of the MTs that used to work where I am working now have bailed to TT and seem happy and relieved.
Does Transtech have any offshore affiliations?
Do they allow you to stay on familiar accounts or do they jumble your accounts and authors?
3 computers 1 connection
Does anybody work on 3 computers at the same time with only 1 DSL connection? Could you tell me how to do it so each is secure from the other and compliant? Thanks in advance for any information.
Transcription Connection/TCI sm
They've got a new pilot program starting. Anyone hear about it? I'm not interested but wondering if this is the old TCI or is it a refurbished one?
Transcription Connection sm
They dare to ask for verification of a per line rate? As an IC you can charge what you want to who you want - I cannot believe what some companies ask for and what some ICs are willing to provide.
Transcription Connection
Transcription Connection in Lynchburg Ohio has been a good company to work for. Smaller so it's a little more personal. Good pay, several work types, all IC.
Connection Problems
I had some problems yesterday that worked themselves out, but today around 11:30 I started having trouble. None of MDI's suggestions have worked for me thus far!
I got thrown out, lost my connection
called my team leader, who was very nice, and never got back in. 3 hours ago, still have not heard from IT. I am going to stick it out, though, hoping things will work out.
Transcription Connection hands down.
Logs, logs, more logs, spreadsheets. Everything done manually. Tons of scanned patient lists. Even had to look up addresses so the husband could do the envelopes. Insist you count every report with the Word counter (a ripoff). 1/4 of your day spent on crap not included in your line count.
Who pays 9/10 cpl with/sp that allows dial up connection? nm

Transcription Connection in Ohio
Would not ever recommend this company to anyone. Run, run as fast as you can.
TRANSCRIPTION CONNECTION IN OHIO
In reply to your post, TCI is an outstanding company to work for. I have always been paid well and paid always on time. They expect quality work from all employees and provide quality dictation to their clients as well as TAT times under 24 hours. All clients are pleased. All MT's employed are VERY happy with TCI.

Transcription Connection out of Ohio...sm
Any info good or bad? Thanks.
I do believe there is a connection to India from everything that I have found. Other than that,
not much to add.
Didn't know Transolutions had any connection
I don't think the Transolutions mentioned has any connection to (sm)
the Transolutions based here in the United States. When I clicked on the link of Transolutions from the above website, it brought up a completely different Transolutions than the US-based company?!? Not sure what is going on, but it sure doesn't look like the same company...
Does Proscript pay for internet connection? TIA

I believe Transcription Connection in Ohio uses it for some of their accounts.
Does anyone know if a KVM switch would be usable here to have a net connection while working? nm

Since DRC was purchased by Acusis, the Indian connection IS there. Look at

Any info on Transcription Connection (Ohio)?
.
I think the COO, Tammy, tried to explain their connection on here a week or two ago...
She sounded very nice..something about taking over their overseas offshoring company's contracts etc..I honestly still do not understand what they are doing unless they got bought out. Why else would you supposedly phase out some of your business and start another, other than maybe they have gotten a bad rap while doing business as Synthescribe. I'm just concerned about going forward because another MT commented how bad the CEO was, and she is the same one at AAmT, or whatever its initials are LOL
MTinGA...Do you work for Transcription Connection in Ohio? (sm)
If so, do they hire SE? How is the pay? Thanks!
I wonder if I have a slow internet connection and if that would be what is causing my slowness.

Do not get satellite!!!
Satellite is a waste of money. I had it for four years and I could hardly work for any MTSO companies. Most of them do not allow satellite. If you have DSL or cable, please go that route. I currently use EMDAT and I remember the employer's ad said no dial-up or satellite with EMDAT. Good luck!!!
Satellite, anyone? (sm)
I found a great house out in the boonies and the only available high-speed internet is by satellite, a company called Wild Blue. Does anyone know of any MT companies that let you work by satellite, and has anyone got any experience with Wild Blue or other satellite providers? I appreciate the help. Can't move if I can't work.
What is so bad about satellite
In my experience with satellite internet, it has been way better than cable as far as outages. When I had an outage with cable, there was NOTHING I could do until it was back up and running usually by calling the cable company.
If there is an outage with my satellite internet, I can do several things that ALWAYS WORK.
EX #1: If it is snowing and my internet isn't working, I go wipe off my satellite with a broom.. Internet is back instantly. Sometimes I have to do this several times a day.
EX #2: If your internet isn't working and it isn't snowing or torrential downpour of rain, then unplug your internet and shut down your computer. Restart and then plug everything back in. Always works.
Only time I have ever lost internet was to torrential downpours of rain and the second it let up, my internet was back.
Am I one of the lucky few that this happens to? It is just so irritating to see not accepting satellite internet because of reliability issues.
I think sometimes people just use that to an advantage and it gives ALL SATELLITE a bad name - I'll just tell them I didn't work because my internet was down. Do you know how many times in the past 2 years I had to call off of work because of internet issues? ZERO. Do you know how many times I had to call off work because my cable internet was down? At least once a week. Not fun.
You can get satellite for $70/mo and
can get free systems sometimes if you sign a 12-mo contract. If you are unable to get a job because you don't have high-speed internet then look at the cost of that versus satellite.
Satellite
Does anyone know of any companies, large or small, that work with satellite (Hughes)?? I have just moved to a very remote area and broadband is not available. Any help is much appreciated.
Satellite
Years ago I was so naive that I thought I was cable when (because it was through a cable company) I applied that is what I told them and I had fewer problems than the people with actual cable connections or DSL, and I had more protection against tampering with my internet than I currently do with the best cable company in town. So, I am not entirely sure that I would not just apply and say yeah high speed internet connection.
satellite
I tried working on one of the accounts they now have when I had a satellite. It was just not compatible. I now have DSL, much better all around. I was working for MQ when I had the satellite and they had a great hospital, which has since gone to KS.
