Who streams from satellite internet? - Blu-ray Forum

I just had to creat a thread for this. I recently switched to Hughesnet and it's horrible. You only get 10 gigs of data per month, which is a nightmare for anyone who streams regularly.

Hopefully AT&T will come to my area soon. Anyone else feel my pain?

I was on Hughesnet, switched to WildBlue and both were equally horrible. Seems like the bandwidth cap was 5Gb when I used them so maybe they bumped it but pretty much useless for streaming purposes.

We got something new in my area which I use now called Wi-Power, which is much better than Hughesnet or WildBlue but still a far cry from cable or DSL.

So yeah...I can feel your pain.
