Re: Broadband? Not!

Now that you've shown us the residential plans with very low data thresholds, how about pricing some of the "business class" plans that are actually usable?

If you average out the data rate for the Pro Pak you posted (17GB download), you manage to get ALMOST 56kbit for the maximum sustainable speed. Even the FCC wouldn't qualify it as broadband, but they do since it helps them with their little maps that show everyone can get broadband!

Just a sidenote: Funny that wildblue.com's title describes it as "Satellite Speed Internet".
