Riverhead, NY | WOW! If I were out of distance of DSL (I am) and Cable (Cablevision), I would get a Dial-Up account or two. That much $$ for that performance? Forget it... | |

| Re: WOW! It requires the same chips on both the dial in and host side, as well as the software backend. ISP's just never saw a need to invest in it, with broadband working it's way into the picture.

1 edit | Re: WOW! Oh I get cablevision....30/5 "said speed", I don't need it....
But at $80 a month for satellite.....it's ridiculous. I would go for sprint's service if I really needed a last resort....a guy at work has it, and it works pretty much everywhere...decent enough to watch a good quality slingbox stream. | |

| and you get suckered into their 2 year contract. The customer support can't speak clear enough English to even understand that a period is the end of a thought. Their contract states if they make changes you have the right to cancel service. This sentence is followed by, subject to early termination fees, you can cancel your contract anytime. They made changes to my account and are not honoring that they made changes and have nullified the contract. I will have to take them to court to have them honor what is clearly stated in their own contract. It's clear English not legalese, they made a change to my account. And the only way they state that I can get out of my contract is to pay them $1200.00. Bologna. Hughesnet is schiesty, unhelpful, and it is true the connection speeds suck. Don't bother, it's not worth it.

PS Subscribing to Hughesnet is like signing your soul over to the devil. IMHO | |
