I live in BFE Kansas and have cable internet from a co. out of Oklahoma that is down more than up.

I was looking in to Satelitte but I hear bad things about gaming. The companies I am looking at are HughesNet and WildBlue.

Does anyone know anything about it?

There goes another BUR pick....

Satellite has pretty bad latency, but you may want to research the particular providers in your area. If it's at least reliable, it'll probably be better than dialup.

You would definitely not want to twitch-game over satellite, but NWN should be pretty bearable.
