I live in rural Maine with no cable or DSL. Satellite providers are Wild
Blue and Hughes Net.

Are either of these more Mac friendly?

Does it really matter? A network connection is a network connection.

It matters only in dealing with the bozo they send to set it up, if
that's how it works, and in dealing with their tech support. I would
just go in assuming that they don't know anything about anything.
