Satellite TV and internet connection
Is there a service out there that gives you satellite tv and wifi using the same box/cube/whatever you name it?

Directtv provides both services with one dish and multiple transponders. The satellite approach is the worst possible one as there is an inevitable delay in the signal as it goes from your location to the satellite and down to the NOC building where it connects via cable to the backbone for the internet and then the response from the web server goes back to the NOC and then to the satellite and then to you location. The resulting latency is most apparent with web browsing and downloading a page that will have many "frames" of content. The advertised download speeds only apply to downloading a single large file and upload speed will be 10% of the download speed.
