You also fail to mention the upload/download caps for satellite users. Just because the fcc might say sattelite is broadband does not make it so.
Speeds are OK and getting better:

Oh, drop the class warfare crap, it was old in the 80's.
Hey, I'd love to have a fiber optic pipe the diameter of an elephant's trunk running into my basement. Alas, I can't afford it. I remember the days when "dial up" was 300 bps into a Wildcat! Apple II BBS. |

Satelite is expensive and BPL is a great idea. Just because he is stuck on dial-up doesn't give you the right to assume he is finacially unstable. |

Even if it was expensive to him. Does it matter to you? So poorer people shouldn't be allowed to have a HSI option even if it is inferior in speeds?
That makes sense. In your opinion we should keep dialcrap alive, huh?
If you can read, I never said block BPL rollout. But it isn't going to move quickly, so satellite is an OPTION if he wants higher speeds now.
