Hughesnet is slow as hell during primetime, the latency is RIDICULOUS.They also lock you into a 2 year contract, so you have to dish out huge fines if, by god's grace, actual broadband comes in your area. You can't do anything popular in the modern internet. I have AT&T 3G coverage (in my window) I put my iPhone in that window, run a cable to my TV, and that's how I stream video. I'm switching to Arbuckle Wireless (WISP) in 3 weeks. Good riddens.
