How much?
$99.0 per month, unit costs $500.0 up front. We'll save over a hundred a month between Dish TV and ViaSat Internet.

We dumped Hughes for ViaSat, Hughes cost more for just half the data. We were so happy to get 100 gigs for one hundred plus, and Viasat was far more dependable, but we still blow through 100 gigs fast.
Last month we blew threw it in 3 days thanks to a fuckin Windows update for both machines.

Just getting unlimited will be a huge deal for us, and Toy can sit and watch videos finally and download games without worrying if it's the end of the month.
They said 2 to 4 weeks, but I expect it next week.

Hmmm, I haven't been that slow since Hughesnet. :biggrin:
We hit speeds of 100 Mbps, but that's not the majority of the time, but we can still stream anything, the problem is, the faster we run, the more Gigs we eat up, like website streaming mini video news in the background without sound.

That kills me, before you know it, you ate up a couple of gigs of usage.

Again, my biggest issue has always been latency delays which can be several seconds.

Today MS down loaded a new up date.  It took 1.5 hrs.  Before the most it took was 10 min.  They must have added a lot of tracking shit.

With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

Linux Mint is a good replacement for Windows and relatively easy to install and use... I have it on my laptop as an alternate OS to boot into.

I  was talking with a net friend who lives in Idaho.  He just got Starlink up and running.  His old unit was taking 5 to 6 hrs to upload a video on a good day.  The Starlink is giving him 140Mbps and load video's under 30 min just sitting on the ground.  When it stops snowing he will move it up on the roof of the two story house.  And he said he was paying less now then before.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
