    I'm thinking more along the lines of pulling the dish off the house with a tow rope.

    I knew the free NG package I had was limited to certain groups, but since they have made just about every group available free, and I still get my full dload speed.....

    I like the package I have with Verizon much better than the one I had with Comcast. Comcast = 6 connections (faster), but a 3GB every 3 day limit. Verizon = 5 connections, but no limit.
