 Contract price not specified.  "It beats Dial-Up." "Having to reboot the Modem often. Tech Support is worthless." "If any other Broadband was available in my area, I would dump Hughes in a heartbeat."

There are no other options in my area for Broadband or I would jump on it.
I've got the basic package at $60.00 a month.
Ordering the equipment was flawless, but the installer didn't ground the dish right. Found this out a couple of years later when I had another installer to come out to realign the dish. He fixed the ground then.
My first equipment was the DW4000 in 2003. Since then I have upgraded Modems 3 times and currently have the HN7000S Modem.
The good experiences is that it beats Dial-Up. The bad is Tech Support is worthless.
Comments:
 | | Getting off of Hughes.net I am experimenting with Verizon's new Mi-Fi 2200 hot spot (wireless router about the size of a credit card). I have learned that I have wireless coverage at our remote location now, where I have been on Hughes for the past several years, none of which have been a very good experience. I will check back in a couple of weeks after I have run some speed tests, but for now I am running both systems. Early indications are that I can shut down the Hughes dish and get rid of the slow uploads once and for all. Stay tuned. | |
