Satellite Costs vs. CA’s
Cloudburst: Faster. Cheaper. Much higher quality.
See for yourself. Be sure to look at the Total Cost column for true comparisons. Satellite providers may offer “special” deals on equipment or installation, but their monthly rates are outrageous.
Not only are Cloudburst wireless access plans considerably less expensive than those of satellite Internet service providers, they provide superior upload speeds. And, Cloudburst works much better, too! Read about satellite service issues, such as incompatibilities, weather interruptions, and use limits, here.
The bottom line: None of the satellite Internet plans are better than any Cloud Alliance plan due to the inherent weaknesses of satellite systems.
