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.

which is a web-based account and so far no problems, though I have only been on it a few weeks.  The company seemed to think the satellite would be fine.  My primary account at KS uses C-phone, so need a second phone line and ULLD.  So obviously there are a number of different platforms, varying from account to account.

I also was under the understanding that they have put a freeze on hiring for the time being....but unless it says that on their website I don't see the harm in putting in your resume.  Then when you get a chance to talk to a recruiter you can let them know what your internet capabilities are.  I cannot get cable or DSL and was feeling discouraged about finding someone who would take me, but KS didn't bat an eye about my satellite.  I was told that they have accounts which do require cable/DSL, but its not all of them....thankfully!  Good luck.

We had some sort of training conference call thingy over the net and some ladies voiced concerns with having satellite and if there would be any problems with getting a particular type of work done...at that time there was no problem.  Again, this was at least a year ago, so I don't know for sure.  Personally, I wouldn't say nuthin' and just say you have high speed internet and leave it at that.   

It can be easier to ask for forgiveness than persmission when it comes to certain things, know what I'm sayin?

Thanks!
