How does your service compare to Satellite service?

There really is no comparison — our service surpasses satellite service in many ways:

Business aspects:

1. No lock-in contract or activation fees. We do not charge equipment lease fees or require you to purchase the standard equipment up front.
2. Money back guarantee in 30 days if you are not satisfied with the service.

Technical aspects:

1. 1. Unlimited data usage (no monthly caps)! This cannot be underestimated; satellite plans have a monthly allowance that would typically allow you only to stream a handful of full-length movies. With our plans you can do so much more than Satellite including:
