That comes out to about 5mbps, and as far as I could find the satellite
providers in the US are limited to about 4mbps for downlink -- can anyone
recommend a provider that can handle all of it, and for the forseable
future too as it continues to increase? I've heard of dishes/receivers
that can do upwards of 30mbps but I'm not sure who provides that service.
