While the standard package's 12000MB download and 3000MB upload limit are a bit low for my tastes, I don't think you'll have much to worry about unless you start file sharing or streaming HD video for hours on end.

I calculated the time per day wrong before, so you'd actually have to spend a little over an hour downloading (12000MB / 30 days / 0.1 MB per second / 3600 seconds per hour = ~1.1 hour) or a little under an hour and a half uploading (3000MB / 30 days / 0.02 MB per second / 3600 = ~1.4 hour) at full bandwidth each day to hit the limit. That's not fantastic, but not terrible either. In practice, your connection will be idle or partially utilized most of the time so you'll get a lot more time than that.

Wildblue sucks bad, glad I'm out of it. you cannot get a big dish, and if you put more than one computer on it you may as well be on dialup.
