Jeff and wrenches,
Even if you brush off the dish, if the storm is intense enough, it's like
throwing up a sheet in front of it and you will lose service. BTW. I use
spray-on PAM or equivalent to keep the snow build-up at a minimum.

This string has been very interesting! I've been using Direcway for 3-4
years now and for the most part it has been a nightmare. I use the older
dual modem 4000 system and continue to hear that the newest 6000 system is
the deal. I talk to customers all of the time that use satelite and it seems
many more problems w/Direcway than Starband. This seems to have swapped
w/the intro of the DW6000. I like the fact that Direcway is $10/mo cheaper
and the equip. is covered as long as you subscribe (I've replaced many parts
many times!). Starband is covered for up to 2 years I believe and in some
cases 1 year, depending on your contract. This would be a major factor to
me. Customer service w/Direcway is fair and about on par with many computer
tech support Co's (in other words, long wait times are common and thick
accents from India to dicpher).
I swore if I ever got the nerve and cash to upgrade I would go to Starband
but after reading this string it looks like DW6000 is the better bet. I have
no issues w/intense rainstorms but the snow can cause problems that go away
when I brush off the dish. If I lived in frequent snow country I would make
sure I had easy access to the dish (I do anyway).
Good luck!
