RE Viasat -- there are only 2 residential (ie somewhat affordable) satellite internet options out there currently....Hughesnet and Viasat/Exede/WildBlue.
My experience has been that the more expensive "small business" type plans from them are only slightly more reliable than the cheapest plans. Running a "server" is strictly prohibited by both companies, and certain network protocols get flagged that way by the provider. I'm 99% sure that's the only reason Midnite's remote monitor system won't work over satellite. Elon Musk's Starlink will be a serious game changer for us remote rural folks and our off-grid customers. I cheer every time I see a new "train" of his satellites going over my house!
