It ain't anything we hadn't heard already, but those hoping to toss their existing HughesNet service into the nearest (rural) lake can take comfort in knowing that a newer, faster alternative is coming in a matter of days. ViaSat's "exede" residential broadband service will launch on January 16th in the US of A, offering a previously unheard-of satellite promise of 12Mbps down and "up to" 3Mbps up. The best part? It'll start at just $50 a month. The worst part? That's for just 7.5GB of monthly data consumption. You'll need to pony up $79.99 monthly in order to grab 15GB, and those who chew though a whopping 25GB will be asked to pay $129.99 every 30 (or so) days. There's no word on what'll happen after you exceed those thresholds, but we're guessing you'll see a marked decrease in speeds until your cycle renews. Or, you know, you could move to some corner of Brooklyn and pay about the same for FiOS.
