I work on the salmon river in Idaho as a computer/radio tech.<br>
All of the satellite isp's do not have the upstream capability.<br>
Skype barely works. (you have to try upwards of 20 times for it to work)<br>
If I have to make phone calls when I am there I always use the SSB<br>
Radiophone or satellite phone because it is far far far more reliable and<br>
doesn't irritate the living hell out of the person your calling.<br>
I have tried 2-3 different VoIP providers & all have the exact same result.<br>
The other side only hears a few pieces of word or nothing at all and hangs<br>
up.<br>
I have tried this on Starband (360 & 480 modems) & wild blue<br>
Starband also has outages during the day where you cant see their satellite.<br>
Most of the satellite ISP's also have rolling bandwith caps. (Starbands is<br>
1gig down & 300megs up in a 7 day period for the plans I deal with)<br>
Overall I think its a bad idea. It most likely will not work.<br>
