That consumers even have to go with a sat provider is bad enough, but adding insult to injury that they can't access broadband in any other matter and are then subject to ridiculously low caps. This is just another glaring reminder that the U.S. is a first world country with third world broadband choices. The only positive I see in this matter is at least HughesNet isn't pretending there aren't any caps in place like certain other providers have and then pleading stupidity when they get caught by their own subscriber base (cough Comcrap cough.)

I'm going to stop you right there and disqualify that particular $0.02 because you know not from whence you speak. Just because a person lives in the country does not necessarily mean that person is a country bumpkin/hillbilly.

I am originally from a rural area back east and one of the secondary reasons I left was predominantly because of lack of broadband. Are you going to try to tell me with a straight face that you know that I lead a much more "simpler" life and therefore, did not need broadband?
