I have exceed up north because it's my only option. Cable companies refuse to run fiber when there are less than 15 homes per aerial mile, and there are no regulations requiring them to. Satelite internet is much slower, more expensive, has very restrictive data caps, and slows to a crawl when the weather is bad. Also, when there is heavy usage traffic on the satelite speeds slow way down. Direct TV told you to use exceed because they have a business arrangement with them where they get paid to steer your business their way. Given an option between satelite and cabled internet, go with cabled every time. The difference between my Comcast internet at the Villages and satelite up north is like night and day!
