I mean satellite for downloading / watching TV only. I believe if you use their internet plans, they actually use cell towers to get 2-way communication. Huges satellite was faster but allowed for 50 gigabytes and then they would slow it down to dial up speed. That sounds like what happens with most unlimited cell phone plans... if it is, you can get a phone from Google or Tmobile that allows hot spots and do what I do, just use it when you really need it fast. Agree with we need more competition. But I thought you were a Trump guy who wants less regulation?
