    Compared to fiber, yeah. I pay $39 for 300mb fiber. But if that’s not available and you have satellite, it’s competitive. Blows the pants of Hughesnet - 40x faster, way lower latency, for a similar price and no data caps.

      I’m in the middle of a 250k city and have to pay $120/mo for Comcast 900/12 which is realistically 400/12. I praise any serious competitor entering the market because our ISP situation has been fucked for years in a majority of the country.
