| My Issue I've been a Direcway/Hughesnet client for something like 14 years. That's long enough to buy a pretty nice used car for what I spent for internet service,
Generally, other than the warnings about support and overall expense, all I can say is it's better than dialup.
What I really object to is their commercials. Anything that indicates you can download music and watch videos is a joke unless you get up in the middle of the night and do so between 2am and 7 am. My gf has a tendency of playing facebook games. Forget it, they eat up your daily download limits. Watch a 3-4 minute youtube and watch a 5% drain.
Hughesnet is fine if you stay away from multmedia activity but that is where technology is today. I could have on demand with directv, but hughesnet makes that impossible.
Hey, its not their fault that I prefer to live in low density neighborhoods, but government should force cable companies and phone companies to service all the constituents in their area, not just the most profitable ones.
If 4G ever gets close enough to provide an adequate signal without FAP requirements, I'll be so far gone from Hughesnet you won't hear me leave. |
