DishNet Satellite Broadband - Oct 1st

[21st Hermit]

Just found this, DishNet Satellite Broadband, starts Oct 1st. $40/mo with a 10GB cap. 5 Mbps Down, 1 Mbps Up. I currently have 0.5 Mbps bi-directional at $30/mo so very attractive especially if the $10 TV discount applies. I've had Dish TV for over a decade.

Yeah for sure and this is definitely not the dish they will be using.

Highly unlikely. Since satellite broadband is 2-way, that uplink signal can interfere with other devices. Therefore pointing is critical and not in the realm of the DIYer, some minimum level of training is required along with specialized equipment. Given that, the suppliers can all require contracts and minimum terms of service.

You may look into getting an old HughesNet 7000 system off ebay. Then you would not have a contract
