While the 300 to 400 percent speed improvements are noticeable, the real difference is the elimination of lengthy satellite delays. These delays cause problems for VPNs, Internet gaming, telnet, and certain other real-time applications. The 802.11 technology is less susceptible to bad weather conditions than one-way satellite so reliability should be higher; it also allows greater mobility within the coverage area. In addition, eliminating one phone line will save approximately $40/month in the Magnolia service area.
