And the BroadandBlue should have 3 or more Mbps download which is still better than satelite. If HughnesNet offer you about 3 Mbps download than is price almost like T1. And winter time, snowing is not helpful for the satelite.

I still think 3Mbps is awfully slow but we each have our own opinion on that. (I got a price of $69.99 for faster speeds than 1-2Mbps so not sure why their information is saying it's the same as T1 speed in cost.)
As for snowing...when I lived in the Glades in the summer time we would get wicked thunder/lightning storms. The satellite would go out, tops, a minute or two. It then worked right on through the densely clouded skies.
When it snows, you may get the same thing.
Either way, you're paying for the service, I was just pointing out alternatives and sharing what I thought about the speed. In the end, it's what you want.
