    Exactly; nobody with cable/DSL access is going to use this.



    But if you can get a 3G cell signal, use it before you do any sort of satellite. Had Hughesnet for 2 years & would never go back. My Verizon 3G feeding my wireless network is so much faster. I have a dedicated line with a 20Gb cap, which sucks but I can live with it. Hughenet's cap was much more restrictive.

    I'm with some others on this... if you use BB@home, I'll bet they count towards your cap... now if the cap was only for non-Dish stuff, it'd be cool for some, but I can't justify the price for 2 extra MB download speed... guess I'll keep the DSL for now...

    Holy sweet F$&K. Are you serious? So it's REALLY a 5GB cap (not 10GB) during normal daylight hours, and the off-peak hours that other satellite internet companies allow unlimited downloading IS ALSO CAPPED at 5GB. Well, that's the worst thing I've ever heard. And they advertise it for streaming video.

    Unbelievable, isn't it.

    BTW, HughesNet is doing the same thing with the new system, except that their cheapest plan is 10GB anytime and 10GB nighttime for a total of 20, but it's more money. The only one with unlimited over night now is Exede direct.
