A question for Satellite DSL users: How much internet do you use?

Asked by filmfann (52229points) January 21st, 2014

We are moving to an area that is quite remote, and their wired DSL provider says the area is capped, which means no new service can be provided. So, I have to go with a satellite DSL provider.
We are looking at HughesNet, but I understand Dish, ClearWire, and Charter are also options. Most of these seem to cap their monthly service at 5 gig.
My wife streams NetFlix movies at night. I have no idea how much bandwidth this uses. We both use Facebook, as well.
Do you have one of these providers?
How much do you stream?
Have you ever gone over the allowed amounts?
Do you know how much data usage a NetFlix movie runs?
