So DirecTV, whose former parent company used to own HughesNet, which was previously known as DirecWay, and DirecPC before that, stopped promoting HughestNet, when their competitor in the TV world, Dish Network, purchased them and switched their alliance to Wild Blue. Now after saying they were going to sever ties with them, DirecTV will be bundling both Wild Blue, now known as Exede and their former sister company HughesNet, which again is owned by their sole satellite TV competitor
I havent looked at satellite internet pricing in a while, so I just went to Wild Bl

.Exedes website. With the top plan, for only $130/month, plus the $10/month modem rental fee you can get a whopping 25GB worth of data a month. How many hours of HD content from DirecTVs On Demand service can you download before you eat that up without doing anything else. With HughesNet, for only $110/month you get that generous 450MB/day data allowance.
I really dont see how either option in their present form could be good for any of the things listed. And I really dont see a DirecTV/Exede or DirecTV/HughesNet combo, being all that much better. -- For the future of our nation, we must unite and vote out the terrorist known as Hussein Obama.
