Is a 1GB per rolling 7 day average on the $49 per month plan and 3.5GB per rolling 7 day average on the top tier $129 plan (soon to be reduced to $99).
1 GB every 7 days is only 4 GB a month. That sucks worse than HughesNet.
The benefit of broadband is faster downloads but if you download stuff you hit the cap quickly and thus are throttled to dial-up speed anyways. It seems dial-up is better since it's cheaper. Small files that you download you could easily do over dial-up anyways. If my only choices were dial-up or satelite I'd just stay with dial-up.
