Kurt,Forget about downloading music via satellite unless you want to spend about $120 a month. All satellites have a Fair Access Policy (FAP). For example $50 a month may get you 160MB in a 4 hour period, $70 may get you 320MB in 4 hours on Hughes. Wild Blue is more of a total for the month which starts at 7.5GB on the basic plan.
When you break FAP you are downgraded for 56K for 4 hours on Hughes, or downgraded to a lower speed (I don't know exactly what) on Wild Blue for as long as a month, depending on how much you went over your download limit before the FAP kicked in.
I will be able to get DSL in a few months, been on satellite 7 years.
