Hi lereeves42,
Welcome to our community. Satellite internet is pretty different from what you might get in the city and generally one of the few options available to rural residents. Since it is a very expensive service to develop, build and maintain, the cost to the customer will be a bit higher - however we try to offer different tiers (our lowest starts at $40) of plans and promotional discounts when possible.
If there is anything we can to do to help or give advice on, please let us know.
Thanks
Amanda
