All these ISP's boning people are so screwed when all the decent satellite internet starts coming out. No more of this "it's the only ISP available" bogus, or severely throttled speeds.

You envision it being like decent satellite TV, I wonder?

I mean, there's no particular reason any satellite provider should be better considering the inherent signal and noise problems of long distance wireless communication. Or short distance, even, if you like me know the difference of quality between bluetooth mouse and headphone, and their wired counterparts. Seems like you hate your available ISPs so much that you're projecting your hopes into something that isn't real.

My internet now is perfectly fine (I no longer live in a rural area).

But it really isn't some crazy thought. The low orbit satellite internet that companies are rushing for will have massively lower pings (and higher speeds) than current satellite offerings.

Considering the local Telco my parents now have offers a whopping 7mb service (and is in the process of filing bankruptcy; the company that offered wireless conveniently decided he never wanted to upgrade his service after he first released it)...it isn't an "if" the satellite internet will be better...it is just a question of when it becomes available and they (and likely many neighbors) will be instant subscribers
