Well, the worldwide coverage, data speeds, and pricing will definitely give HughesNet and Viasat a headache and force different business models on them.

And, this will be a whole lot better choice for people in Rural America forced to use AT&T DSL or 4G Jetpacks……or for the millions in underdeveloped countries with NO or very limited internet accessibility.

 

But after years of bitching about Charter Spectrum customer service and frequent cable TV outages, I have to admit the newer and more stable 125 MBS+ download and 10 MBS upload speeds for $55 is serving me well.
