This is the best bang and very worthwhile to check into if there are no alternatives other than satellite for broadband. I have lived with satellite internet for the past 6+yrs and this blows the doors off even Wildblue's pro package.
The internet speeds off the tower by my home averages about 1300kb/s download and upload is around 400kb/s inside the house with no external antenna and a ping around 120-140 which was close to my highest speed with Wildblue's pro pack. I thought it might be a little faster than satellite but I didn't expect it to be near as much of a blowout.
One huge plus is the wireless service is not affected near as bad by weather, I played Unreal tournament in the middle of a downpour for giggles, even though I rarely game it was nice to be able to do it for once and even better... to be on the net in a torrential downpour much less play a ping and bandwidth intensive game.
Last but not least NO FAIR ACCESS POLICY!!! It does not matter how much you use the net it won't get slowed or shut down EVER!!
If you are curious about it go into a Sprint store and check it out.. I am not a Sprint fan by any means... but where I am and no matter how many speed tests and file downloads I do to test it looking for it to fall on its face.... it just won't. I can't stand Sprint but they have done something right with this.
