True...but the $60.00mth you spend on Ultra would get another 300Mb/mth on
top of Jetstream 600, or the $120 mth you spend on Jetstream would get you
another 80 hours on Ultra Swift 300.

outgoing, but you'd have to receive everything via Ultra.

Not sure if all protocols would be happy with this though.

What's the legal position on using an alternate return path?
