Re: Sattelite out of country?
Quick search found a Hughes BGAN terminal for $986. Also, you can leave it "Constant-on" and still only pay for data sent/received. Definitely not for heavy bandwidth needs, but for email only, it's an option. No dish necessary.

These guys offer a FREE terminal with the purchase of 100MB of data for $745. Not bad (for some users), IMO.

said by islandmgrs  :You could also look into BGAN systems - small & portable. Not sure of the cost. Last quote I had was approx $4000.00 CDN for the unit and $8.50/MB (USD) for data.

Thanks for your help. I am contacting our local installer to see if he can set me up with new system locked on to that satellite. Appreciate your suggestions I am just learning. |

There is no simple way to get HughesNet to reassign your satellite. However, there are a few methods that may work.
-Cancel service, sign up again, they may need to put you on a different satellite.
-Call and say you have a neighbor or something constructing a barn/shed/house in the way of your HughesNet system and the only other window you have is to SatMex 6.
-Call Montana Satellite and ask them what options you have. They're licensed installers and can sometimes request repoints for you.
A few others may have better solutions, but these are methods that seem like they would work. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could give you information on getting reassigned to a different satellite.

That is great. I appreciate your help so much. I have worked initiating a mission in that village. We have youth camp, medical mission, and two churches. This last year I gathered up 24 used computers to begin a computer training lab there. Unemployement rate is 98%. We got everything going but communcation with my local friend is limited until he can get to town to internet. Maybe once a week or so. Hard to help with limited communicatins. I was hoping to take my Hughes Sat, with me in suitcase and reinstall it down there, or buy another one and take with me. Funds are limited so I was hoping to continue the 59 per month from here. By going on another Sat does that change monthly cost? Appreciate your help

I browsed their web site, do they handle residential systems, or where would I look for a small system by another carrier that uses that satellite |

There must be satellites that are covering Guyana, but Hughes is focused on north America. To make it short: Forget about taking your system down there, but you might find another provider in south America offering satellite internet connection. - Good luck.

Guyana is outside the footprint of your satellite, so it will not work there. |

Does the foot print mean you have reception anywhere inside the circle or only in the paths that the Satelit takes.
Sorry I am a plumber,
Thanks Greg |

Not quite sure without knowing the footprint of the satellite you are on. Post your satellite, and maybe someone on this forum know the footprint of it.

Question.
I have a Hughes Satellite HN7000S. I live in Ohio. Can I pick up my satellite and take it to Guyana South America, relocate it, pick up satellite and continue to pay my bill from Ohio. At the same price 59 per month, continuing to pay from Ohio
My new long and lat will be
N 05 degrees 55.937'
W 058 degrees 18.370'
This was off my GPS when I was last there
Thanks for your help |

Not anywhere in the world, no, but anywhere in North America would probably work. |
