I have the Verizon mifi and USB modem and I am too far from the tower. Wildblue now has a new Satellite that is faster than DSL its called Exede. They had up to 7.5mb for 49.00 a month. I pay that for 5.0 from Verizon.

The mobile hotspot on my Droid phone works also but again I am still far from the tower and when traffic picks up in the evening it affects my service. I have seen people who are verty happy with the Exede.

Reality is determined not by what scientists or anyone else says or believes but by what the evidence reveals to us.
