well i have seen a lot of people complain about satellite internet and i can agree with a lot of what people say. but i have never had a problem with my sat for a little over two years now my down load speed is never under a 1 meg i pay for 1.5meg . the only problem is that during the day my upload is a little slow , but at night i see it go through the roof i get all my bandwidth and more at night . also as far as the fair use policy i get 17000meg down and 5000 up in a thirty day period . try that on any other sat . but i do have to say the biggest problem is latency , i cant play wow and that sucks. rain is not a problem for me . through hurricane Ike never lost internet and that was with 30 -50 mph winds. customer service is a joke. the only problem i have ever had with my sat is the upload connector the crimp on connector that they use went out shorting the system out to the point it would not get a signal a trip to radio shack for a new cable end saved me 150 in service call. o by the sat way is the only thing to get on the internet here in south east Texas 1 hour from Houston . no cable service . sat for TV sat for internet.
