Just to show you Earthlinks inconsistancy in information dissipation, I was told, that I would have to form a new account with Hughesnet for $59.95/mo, and pay $298 for the complete upgrade (all equipment, not just the modem), plus the $99.95 "fee" which I forget is either being a new customer or creating a new account. I don't think Earthlink knows which hand washes the other. I know I don't need new equipment since I have the .98 meter dish, my OSU is ok, and my wiring is ok. I just need the "new modem" or just a switch to Hughesnet for the new service. I would really not want to pay for upgrading the modem unnecessarily, since I've been waiting for BPL , which has had a 4 year delay in establishing itself. (Broadband over Powerlines). It's much faster than either cable, DSL or Satellite, at about 1/3rd the cost. This is why I will not shell out hundreds of dollars, and lock myself into a multi-year contract with either Earthlink or Hughesnet. I just want to maintain my broadband until BPL FINALLY comes to town, which is SUPPOSED to be by April - June '09
