[BC] Sat Internet Service

[tg at btsg.com]

They also impose download limits and when you exceed the limit they slow your service down to a
crawl until you have maintained within the limits for 24 hours.  I found out the hard way!!  I have
a high tier Hughesnet since that is all I can get where I am, but would gladly go elsewhere if that
were an option!  It WOULD NOT be an option for streaming...at least for downloads.

Perhaps one of the standard one-way satellite services as used by 
state-wide networks would be better. I've tried Hughes Net, and 
WildBlue, two readily available consumer and small business providers. 
Both have a lot of latency. But further, you must pay for their 
higher-tier pricing, to get a service that will work at all. Even at 
best, it's really not suited for streaming. It's fine for "Bursty" uses, 
such as web page surfing or pulling email.

Be sure to review the terms and understand how they calculate your 
useage. Unlimited, usually, has a cap. OK, it's not a limit, but you 
will pay for exceeding it :-) Sorta like on a cell phone data plan.
