If the service and price are good,then I'm in! fu^ck Comcast and Verizon!
No you probably will not do that. First off the price is surely going to be higher.
Plus, as hinted to by other posters - SAT is HIGH LATENCY.
What does that mean? No online games, VOIP, or time sensitive interactive programs. This also makes web browsing awkward - pages do not load instantly like one cable/dsl - normally there is a large pause and then chunks of the page come in all at once. This is due to the 600-800ms delay with high orbit sats (most cable and DSL have 5-10ms of delay).
