I suppose the only downside is during inclement weather, you may not get signal.

Is cable available?

Do not get hughesnet. I am telling you, go with wild blue. Hughes puts a daily download limit on you. The only reason I got rid of wild blue is I got DSL. Wild blue is through dish network.

Wildblue puts a monthly limit on you but i have never exceeded it.

Verizion makes wireless card that you can connect up to 5 computers too at the same time.

Check on cellular signal in the area you will be in, if you have good 3g service it will be almost as fast as dsl to get a wireless card, atat and verizion have them I know I have used both and Verizion it MUCH better than At&t.

Dont use them. I had wind damage to my house and it knocked down the satellite and now they wont me to pay 700 to repair it. I leased the equipment because they said and paid a insurance for damage to equipment and now they are saying I owe this amount. I have since cancelled my service.
