EDIT: I have to communicate with the company anyway since my Mom has no idea what any of the terminology is or how anything works.

She called me earlier and told me we're getting "12 gigabytes a second, I think"

Told her that was impossible with a satellite and she started to argue.

You'd be surprised the lies that sales personal that work for media companies will tell in order to get a sale.I worked at a Verzion call center several years ago for about 6 months lots and lots of DSL customers that got sold a speed that they could not possibly get because they where too far away from the source for the fastest speeds but they got sold anyway and you know the tech isn't going to say anything.This was business DSL and boy where many of the customers suckers that had no understanding of IT at all many of them thought they had something close to FIOS then they called and wondered why the speed slowed down when just 4 PCs where online.Because you only have a basic DSL connection dufus.
