I live far enough out in the middle of nowhere (thank God) that I had to put up with satellite internet for 15 years or so. I also hated it.

I particularly hated how if you used the equivalent of a half hour of Youtube videos, you would have used up your “high speed” for the month, and you had the equivalent of dial up speed. We called it “punishment mode”.

Now I have a radio antenna (microwave?) that is bounced off my neighbors antenna, and down a valley to the server, and speed and quantity is excellent at literally half the cost of satellite. Multiple movies can be watched at the same time. Some day a fiber optic cable will come out here hopefully but I can live with this for now.

I'll have to check into that, but I don't think that's available where I live.
