I am thinking of getting Hughes.net internet service and would like to know what people who are using it think of it.
Thanks, Jerry |

I had it for about a year. I had no other options at the time other than satillite. I liked them better than Direct Way. They were much more gentle when sticking it in my A%^ with the pricing. It was tolerable because I could work from home rather than make a 100 mile round trip drive when gas was high.
For the majority of my usage, it was MUCH faster than dial up, MUCH slower than the DSL I have now. I only had one band width issue when I tried to watch live streaming of LeMans. They put me in the naughty box for several days (dial up band width) and until I made some calls, I really though the modem was broken. Their bandwith policy is poorly communicated. I feel for you on the options. I never thought I would hear a modem after 2002. Good luck! |
