Hughes. Speeds are a bit slower than I expected but not all that bad, There are download limits (one good size video and I'd be... Well, Toast) and the price is slightly higher than I like however... I can't do better. Set up is sometimes a bother but once you've done it a few times it's not too bad.

The plus side is the coverage map.. Save for scattered fly specs of 'won't work here, try across the street" it's more or less..... The entire United States

Actually, the coverage map is the entire US, Canada and Mexico! The only limiting factor would be a tree blocking your view of the Southern sky.
The download limit is 200MB per day which is a whole lot more than one good sized video (OK, maybe a movie length video) and while the pricing is high, the speeds are pretty darn good compared to any other "mobile" internet connection. You can't compare the service to anything like cable or DSL as satellite cannot begin to stand up to these kinds of services. However, these services can't be taken mobile so you have to keep your perspective clear.
