One system you do not want is Hughes. We had Hughes Net for about 6 years but after Hughes came out with their Gen 4, support and system capability went into the crapper. Gen 4 cannot be used in a mobile setup. I went to a Verizon MIFI JetPack hotspot and have been very happy with the coverage and price. If you are dead set on a satellite dish, contact Mobile Satellite Technologies in VA. They were my provider with Hughes and were very helpful, but the cost of moving to a new system would have been about $15,000 a year ago. Our service on a Verizon Hot Spot MIFI has worked VERY well all over the US and works MUCH better than I expected in Alaska as well as the more remote areas of the US. Make sure if you go that way to insist on a system that will drop into 3G and 1X if you cannot get to a 4G area. Not all Verizon JetPacks will do this. My cost for the JetPack was free, $50 and a $50 rebate, and I pay $50 a month for 5 gigs a month.
