Someone chose satellite over cable or DSL? Last I heard satellite was $100 per month and slower than the other choices.

I think satellite is as fast as DSL, maybe not as fast as cable. Now that you mention the monthly cost, I think this person I was talking about only needed it for limited amount of time per day, vs. always on, I think satellite TV was giving so many free hours, but not unlimited, and those were withing his usage parameters.

Since that is the only person I know who used satellite for internet access, it's rather a limited sample.

I think where people have a choice of cable of DSL, many choose those over satellite.

But for example when it comes to TV: cable or satellite, quite a few choose satellite, so then why not for internet.
