Poll: How is DirecPC ?

I have a Bell ExpressVu, and noticed a commercial advertising DirecPC. I live in the country, so I can either have dialup or a satellite connection. How fast is DirectPC? Does it always stay at the same speed? How is it for games?

If anyone can answer any of these questions, or provide me with any other information regarding this, that would be great.

Thanks!
 
Unless they have changed recently, you have to use a regular modem for uploads and get the fast sattelite downloads. This means that it isn't much better than a 56k modem for gaming.
 
You will get very poor pings with a satellite connection. If all you do is browse the web, directpc is ok but if you play games online you will suffer. Usually SDSL lines offer the best pings because of their high upload rates. You should check out wireless dsl, it is way better than directpc and it is now available in a lot of remote places.
 
Check out dishnetwork.com or starband.com, the uplink is supposed to be 125k and download speed is 500k. I guess it will be better than direc pc.
