Hi all -

I hope you do not see this post as inapproriate. I received an inquiry from the Orange-Windsor SU concerning a satellite Internet connection. If any of you have information that will help the supervisory union please respond directly to Cynthia Powers at: [log in to unmask]

Thanks -

Bill Romond

        Re:  Starband Satellite Internet Connection

        The Sharon Elementary School (K-6) is looking at a proposal for high speed satellite internet connection from Sky Blue Home Systems.  Proposal calls for Starband 480 Pro modem with built-in 4-port router.  It is supposed to download up to 1 Mbps and upload 1000kpbs in turbo mode.

        Has anyone had any experience with this group.  Would there be a problem with multiple users downloading at the same time?  At the moment, satellite is the only option in this area.

        Thanks.  Cynthia
