Re: Thanks for letting us know, Hughes!

That all depends on the contract...not all contracts have that loophole.

And who knows...perhaps they ran their contract out and have been subscribing to it since the only other option is dial up.

Honestly...if it were this or dial up...I'd choose dial up.

I think my AT&T 3G speeds for my iPhone are faster and less limited than these plans. Ouch.

AT&T has a "soft" 5GB per month cap, so yes your iPhone data plan is better than Hughes'. Though AT&T 3G is only available pretty much where wireline broadband is plentiful, and even then most places don't have it.

Oh, and do yourself a favor; put your SIM in an HSPA card if you want data speeds. The iPhone is HSDPA only so latency is 2-3x HSPA and uploads are a good bit less as well. Thugh HSDPA > HughesNet.
