Why move to a limited (has data caps) service when you had an unlimited one?
I admit that I had misgivings about keeping HughesNet after discovering I could get 4G LTE here, and couldn't find anything for sure about the 30-day grace period in time to make the decision easy, so I shrugged and figured we would just stick with it because it would be a good thing for my non-tech hubby. That is because I know the service is expensive and that 10GB of data is not very much.
I see a post every other week by someone who wants to go back to cable. I never would have chosen data capped internet over unlimited where unlimited was available. So I wonder - is it the satellite making it seem "space age," a belief that 10GB is a lot of data? (If you are my age, and started learning BASIC programming on a TRS-80 Model I, and had a 640K 20MB computer while selling them when we were assured the MS-DOS couldn't use more than 1MB of RAM and could only use 640K for regular program use... I can see 10GB seeming huge if you hadn't owned another device since)...
