Bought Verizon USB 760 and tried for a couple months before dumping HughesNet. Best move I've made! Not much chance around here for cable or DSL, so this is a good choice for me. My home location is not technically within their 3G coverage. The closest tower is about 7 miles, line of sight. With my cheapie little plug in booster antenna I consistently get 80-90 RSSI and sometimes as good as 75. Speeds vary based on load on the tower. I LOVE that I can travel with the modem and have windshield time ISP access and don't have to worry about looking for Wi-Fi or what kind of ISP the hotel has, or camp off my kids connection. The 5G limit has been no prob for me as I'm not a gamer, or movie downloader. My only complaint is that I wish I had the new little modem/router combo that came available recently. Also, I first tried the USB 727, went through 2 of them, the body seems to be too heavy for the USB plug. I'm now on my second 760, the first one the solder came loose on the auxiliary antenna plug. Tech support has been very easy to work with. However, for something that is suppose to be portable, the USB modem is rather fragile. To fine tune my connection I suppose I need to set up a home LAN and will get to that soon. Probably need a more permanent antenna.
