"My experience with this over six weeks - HN is adequate for general information service, spotty when attempting to shop, stream, etc. Better off on my cell phone. "
It must depend on where people live and how many phone towers are nearby....I can do just fine with HN, including streaming and shopping, while the internet service via the phone is pretty rotten. I can't stream with the data from the phone, unless I drive to a town.
Don't know if you all realize this OP is over 3 years old. If you'd like actual help it would be best to start a new post. Comparing cell data and satellite data isn't really asking for help which is what the Tech Support section is for.
Didn't seem a problem to respond to this one as it was just a comment -- it'd be helpful if old posts were locked, though.

Right, but people post tech support questions to the General Discussion section and they get answered. I think until threads are locked and someone moves post to where they belong this will continue to happen and the site will be messy.

Definitely not a big deal just very old post and seems to be "beating a dead horse" when comparing apples and oranges.
And a definite yes on they (mods) should really go through and close/lock some of these very old threads. I know this whole site is part time job for them though. Perhaps they have an intern or newbie who could do it.
