    Default Question about internet service?

    Does anyone use Dish for internet and camming?

    I am planning on opening a couple account with my boyfriend at his house. He doesn't have internet so I will be the one to have to get the internet. He lives way out in the country too so there is not very many options. I can get dish internet tho. The upload speed would be 2 and download speed would be 10. Would we have a good quality video stream with Dish?

    I just don't want to get stuck in a contract if it wouldn't work for camming so that's why I am asking before I sign up with Dish. I have internet at my house thru the cable company, so if me and him break up I dont want to be stuck with 2 bills.

    I am in the UK and we are right out in the country too. We won't be getting fibre untill 2016 sometime lol, so we looked into satelite internet. It all looked good except you need to make sure there are no high building, mountains, trees etc which could get in the way of the signal. We also found that it can be a bit like wifi and not very stable. Suffice to say we didn't buy into it lol. Stuck with slow bb for another year, oh well. All I would say is try and do a bit more digging for your area? Find out of anyone loacal is using it.

    I have satellite internet at home and while it's great for web surfing and even for watching Netflix, the upload is only around .5 Mbps, download about 5 Mbps. They had said it is 1 Mbps up but it isn't. I don't think it would be quite fast enough for camming, but I've never tried it. Ask the satellite ISP if it would be good for high quality video conferencing. Tell them you do Skype meetings with clients and you need a clear and steady stream. They told me that satellite upload breaks up constantly and it would lead to a broken stream. I occasionally upload videos and while it's slow it doesn't hesitate too often. But you should inquire further about their service and if it meets your needs.

    satellite internet is probably not the best for live streaming. You want more of a direct connection. DSL is better then satellite.

    Only bad thing is he cant get the fiber dsl ( it would be thru a copper) so the upload speed is 1 and the phone co couldn't guarantee that we would get the whole 1 upload speed cause its 10 miles from town out in the country:-( Plus I would have to pay a $300 bill that I owe from 20 years ago...lol!

    Satellite sucks for camming. Connection disconnects too much.

    You'd be better off getting the fastest direct connection you can - steady connection is super important. I'd pay the 300 if that's your only choice for a direct connection.
