You can get 10mps download satellite for $59 a month. That is competitive with cable."

hahahaha No it is not and I see you have not a clue about which you speak.

That offer gets you 20GB download capacity (or you can pay 69 for 50 gigs) or about 8 netflix movies in HD. Again they are NOT in the same league because they have very limited bandwidth due to the limits of wireless.

You keep trying to convince everyone that apples are oranges no wait actually you are trying to convince us that apples are Prime Rib.

No matter how hard you try they are NOT even close.

IF Big Media had not snapped up Big Communications you might get some real competition with multiple Cable and DSL phone companies but that ship has sailed and it will never come to pass to extract them while the Lords of K Street run Washington D.C.

There’s been an incestuous relationship between cable companies and politicians at all levels going back to the 70s.

HughesNet gives you unlimited data each month. If you exceed the 20GB they throttle your speed.

No. Just responding to your point that there was only one provider in your region.
