Hughes Satellite vs. Verizon MiFi
We live in a rural area with no land line availability and require a wireless internet system. Because we live in a fringe area, cell signal is marginal, so we are looking at changing to a satellite ...

I have Hughes Gen 4 and am in a rural area only reason I have it is I have no other options. I am around a lot of trees so my signal is not as good as it could be , when I am here by myself it works marginal, however when my family is all home using it gets verry slow, and frustrating.
This is not true, there is Exced which used to be Wild Blue before they went bankrupt and Exced bought them (not sure of spelling there)
If you got the bandwith I can show you what Exced can do
https://twit.tv/shows/ham-nation
Any episode where Bob Heil is at home (last weeks' for example) he is using Excede The show is produced LIVE from several studios most of the hosts can see most of the hosts all the time, SKYPE to a central facility in California and the hosts see a multi-segment screen
THe screen shows what the others are doing, The outgoing show and likely a script or "Director's message" screen All streaming on Exceed to/from Bob's house from the main control point in CA.
That is a lot of video feeds.
NOTE that Excede is NOT compatable with RVs... I do not think Hughes gen-4 is either.. Hughes old style is.
