I currently have a customer with a remote business/warehouse location. The cable company wanted to charge $6,000.00 to run a cable from their nearest pole to the location. We had Wildblue installed at the location and got the Pro Package with the fastest speeds. It worked great up until we went over the bandwidth limit. The max usage they allow to upload in any 30 day period is 5,000 MB. After 2 weeks we were well above that. The DVR is basically streaming 10 cameras at MPEG4 with highest quality for about 10-15 hours a day. We are now in the process of getting a commercial package so we will not get slowed to less than dialup speeds. But, when it's on at normal speed, it was just as fast as DSL, if not comparable to a slower cable connection. If you are going to do this, I would just recommend getting a commercial package capable of uploading at least 15,000 MB per month, or less depending on how often it is streaming. Other than that, we've had no issues whatsoever.
