The correct spelling is "Exede". The competitor is Hughesnet (product is Gen4). Exede in most cases is preferred to Hughesnet. It is correct that Dish Network will bundle either Gen4 or Exede, whichever they feel like, depends on the area, etc. But both will be called "DishNet" when bundled with Dish. Dish/Direct don't sell it exclusively, there are usually local installers in the area not tied to the tv companies. If you bundle with Dish, you save some money. You also get worse, not US based support. Also the plans are a little different. Bundled with Dish as example let's say with the 10GB of monthly daytime usage plan, then you also have 10GB of additional usage after midnight. But if you don't bundle and go direct with the company, or like a local reseller or NRTC, you get US support, and instead of the 10GB capped after midnight, it's unlimited. So if you have things to download, it's better not to bundle (10GB + unlimited vs. 10GB + 10GB). Better support and uncapped after midnight (if you go over your monthly daytime use, speed is restored temporarily at that time each night). Also, you need to go to Exede.com to see what's available in your area. They launched a new satellite a couple + years ago, about half the land area of the US has that, the other half has service on the old satellites Wildblue was on. Exede12 in the new areas, Exede5 in the old ones ("up to" speed is slower in the "old" areas). There are now different plans offered in different areas, including "unlimited" in some and some others besides the normal ones. In addition to that, the satellites beam down in several "spotbeams", like a bunch of spotlights over the whole US. Each area is isolated from the next. One can be full, be congested, poor performing, not letting new installs in, while another right next to it is not full, much better performance. So, to find out how well it works in your area, you have to find someone that has it in the exact same "beam"/area that you are in. My area was closed to new installs for two years as an example, nobody new could get it.
That said, cellular is a better choice in general if you can get a signal and your towers aren't overloaded, but that depends on what carriers you have, if any. A few of us on here are familiar with signal boosters, antennas, etc. Also a WISP is often preferable (Google the word). Pretty much you want to be sure it is your only choice before you get it (or the best choice). There is no trial period anymore with the sat. carriers, you get it installed and you are in contract subject to early termination fees on day 1, so you want to be sure.
Also as probably mentioned, it doesn't work as well with everything. The satellites are over 20,000 miles up I believe, the signal (speed of light) takes a while to travel that far and back down, so it adds a little delay to everything. Might be a bit of detectable delay with VOIP/Skype talking, and if you have people that do gaming, multiplayer is not practical. Etc. General browsing, email, it's fine. With the caps, services like Netflix or video in general isn't that practical. You can turn the quality down a little and watch some if careful.
Confusing mess but I/we can clarify what you want.
