@Jim16 yeah if i had that 12mbps id be happy!!! :3 i wish i can get that during primetime DX BUT!!! imma happy the way i am :3 cause even though its peak hours right as we speak :3 (its 8:21pm right now my time as imma typing this ) itll be a bit slow for me :3
ALSO!!! i agree with veteransatuser onto this one... ALSO!!! may i add into what he said... satillite internet is ONLY for rural places which ONLY are avaible to people who DONT get cable/dsl internet NOR ANY other providers for those people.... so yeah... ONLY choose satillite internet IF that is your ONLY option... IF not then... id suggest you go to cable/dsl internet... cause like i said above... satillite internet IS ONLY AND WILL ONLY BE the last resort... :3

But i am most concerned at prime time hours and the 3.4 on Fast.com is really your actual concern if you are doing any streaming, it doesn't matter if you are getting 25 Mbps down you are still only going to stream at what ever your Throttle is for your plan, mine is 480 resolution. So that should be your concern,
During the last two nights, during prime time i've been watching DTV Curb your Enthusiasm episodes at 480 (i guess) no buffering sharp picture.
If you can stream at your plans resolution then your getting good service. Forget the Mbps because if you can stream you can do all the other things you would want to do on the web with a reasonable response.
If you can't stream at the plans resolution then you need to investigate etc., but yes congestion can be the issue, but not a 24/7 issue.
