Unless you can get some kind of decent price/speed with cellular, you should stick with Hughesnet. At least if you go over you get a free renew token every month to allow you to get back to full speed. Wildblue has nothing comparable and if you happen to go over a week into your month of your bandwidth cap, which is limited up and down, you will be screwed for a month and get to pay full price for a month you couldn't even use service. @Ian, the satellite service in the US is terribly expensive for any kind of speed. I pay $80/month with a 475mb download cap on a 1.6 meg d/l connection.
