They are expensive and as long as you pay them their $60 / month,
everything is great.
Almost never loose the signal even in hard rain. Living in a rural
area here in southeast Louisiana
there is no dsl, no cable, no wifi, no nothing. It's either dial-up,
Hughes Net, or Sky Blue (we have that at the
machine shop where I work, slow, slow, slow. but still faster than dial-up) .
