Satellite Internet is the ONLY thing i can get. Right now i have Verizon HomeFusion Cantenna and it never works but i get around 80ms which is pretty good. I need to find any satellite internet around the same latency for online gaming(real-time multiplayer)

If possible, if anyone can help me find good providers in Maryland

22,000 miles + 22,000 miles round trip = you will die in your game.

Is there any recommendation? I have the same problem of no internet options except satellite. Is there any way of using cellular internet (portable hotspots, etc.) that have decent data caps? Mine is currently capped at 10gb and that don't last long at all. Thanks for any input.

Karma Go. $50 /month unlimited up to 5Mbs. Just got one works good. Used to have satellite, hughsnet, and was dying with the 20 Gb/month limit. This was my answer, salvation, and could be yours too. Sorry for laying it on thick, but its amazing. Anyway, its on sprints network, so if you can get service by sprint, you can get service by this. Gaming is pretty good too. Ping is anywhere from 50ms to 140ms, but thats during peak hours. Anyway, hope this helps,

Update: The Karma go worked great, then they took away the unlimited to 15Gb, still good for 50 dollars right? then they changed it to 5Gb for 50 dollars, and 20Gb is around 100 bucks.
Sorry for the hope.... :/
