Wireless Internet options

[drew at drewtaylor.com (Drew Taylor)]

Do they live in the North End, or somewhere I could point an 
omni-directional wireless antenna at them? The only thing that concerns me 
about satellite is the latency. I've read in the past that satellite 
latency is horrible, making ssh/gaming much more difficult. Can anyone 
comment on this problem who has satellite data service?

As far as prices go, the monthly fee sounds reasonable. What data rates do 
you get, and how server friendly are they? I've gotten spoiled with 
Speakeasy's lovely TOS. ;-)
