Too many inconsistent things to unpack here:
1. To the best of my knowledge, the maximum fee for breaking a residential contract is around $400. There is no $700 fee.
2. Dish doesn't have their own internet service. I believe they resell HughesNet.
3. Speed is also decreased as a function of how many devices are simultaneously using the internet.
4. Speed is not the issue with streaming, latency is, and because of the distances involved in satellite-based internet, there's nothing that can be done about it. Depending upon the protocol and server used by the streaming service, not all services will be 100% compatible with ANY satellite internet.
If there's something you need worked on, please start your own thread.
