Re: 300MB
Do the math. That's $8.00/GB/month. Hell, that make COMCRAP look good, which is about $0.28 cents per GB. Of course, neither of them hold a candle to FIOS, which cost $0.00184 (1/10 of a penny) cents per month per GB. So hughesnet costs 28 times MORE than Comcrap, and 4,320 times more than FIOS on a PER GB basis. If that's not an argument for a real nationwide FIOS rollout, I don't know what is.
In other terms get 28 hughes satellites and you can hit comcraps 250GB Cap. Get 4,320 satellites, and you can hit what the 'average' FIOS can do in a month.

Sprint/Verizon/AT&T and their 5GB cap or should I say FAP, charges $12 per GB... so Hughes would be a bargain... nah, I was just kidding. |
