Is there a better way here? YouTube and Hughes Net!?

I live in rule Michigan, where internet options like DSL, Cable or even 3G are not an option. So we are stuck paying a relativity high price for satellite internet, and to make matters worse a family of 4 has to share 250mb a day. I am a computer nerd, going to college for programming, and Hughes net makes it almost impossible to learn from home. One of my preferred ways of learning is with videos. Youtube Is a very good place for learning how to program, network or even for simple entertainment (no way!), but I always have to watch videos at 240p, and after 15 videos of a 45 part series there goes most of your data. I am wondering if there is an ISP like Hughes net but without the download cap, or some web site or program that compresses youtube videos even more (server side) or something that would make this more usable. I know there is a time overnight where you can download all you want, so I wonder if there is a downloader program that can be scheduled also? Thinks in advanced
