I just wanted to know:  Being that cable modems offer at least 1 mb/S, why
would someone get a satelite modem for 400k/S.  Is the price better or
something.  Or the connection more reliable.  

Just wondering.

It is not really suitable for anyone except for those in mobile homes and in
remote areas.  Especially when you consider they are environmentally harmful
as well!!!
