Anything beats out old-school satellites. I don't understand how they have not evolved even a little bit.

50GB Data Cap and that's it. You might as well not have any Internet after that because it will be so slow.

That's not even enough for me to work from home for 30 days. No streaming, no Netflix, no gaming.
