ViaSat Delivers 12 Mbps+ Via Satellite

Posted by timothy on from the ok-this-looks-sexy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last Thursday, ViaSat announced pricing for its new home broadband service, which is set to deliver 12 Mbps+ download speeds (3 Mbps+ up) beginning next week for $50 per month. Engadget just dropped by the company's demo home just a few feet from the Engadget trailer at the Las Vegas Convention Center parking lot to try it out, and posted their review." The comments there, understandably, wail for information about how much data that $50 buys.

    Living in 'the sticks' has advantages. Especially when you are young. It is cheap. How much money do young people have? Oh thats right usually not much.

    Guess what else is missing in rural areas: jobs! The jobs are all in the city, or at least nearby large towns (which are likely to have decent broadband services).
