| Not so bad 
I would say this is more than just a bit better than dialup, lol. You will always have high latency with Satellite and HN tells that gaming is not supported on thier systems even though you can do it with some games and it is posted on nearly every forum that has ever had Hughesnet mentioned in them that VOIP and gaming are a roll of the dice on whether they will work or not. The best ping possible with satellite is around 450ms and that is if noone was on the beam you are on and noone else was playing on the game server you are playing on, when you add users those pings go up from there. Hughesnet has thier problems and I can't say I like em much for those problems such as the customer service and the low FAP but complaining about thins that five minutes worth of research would have warned you about is just beating a dead horse IMHO.
BTW this is the new speed tweaks that alot of 9000 users are seeing and according to HN everyone including HN7000s customers will soon be seeing these speed improvements.

| Dude, you have been away so long you don't even know what you are talking about with HN anymore. Yes it used to be terrible and it still is not great by no means but the speeds I listed are the norm now whether you believe it or not and since I have posted that they have also doubled the speeds on the KU side of things as well. People are regularly getting at least twice the plan speeds except during the free time and at the beggining of the free time for about the first three hours then you get around your plan speed while it is crowded and then it go's back up as peoples downloads finish in the last three hours. Also they now have a forum with active techs and represenatives and they are going to work on the FAP next.
As far as seeing far more complaints than compliments, that argument doesn't fool anyone for the simple reason it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if things are working fine you don't go looking for help and thus 99% (well probably actually higher) never even see these forums unless someone tells them about it and most of the rest do have problems, google those problems and wala here they are to ask for help and more often than not vent after reading other peoples posts like this review. So the truth is that if you could get HN to run a poll on thier home page I would bet that you would find hands down and overwhelming majority of customers would say they are happy with the service they have.
To keep bumping a bad review 2 years after the fact is wrong in my book and I don't really believe BBR should alow it after it gets 6 months old or so.

Guy, ironic the complainers (ratio) are the most vocal one's as with any product review across the internet a fact of life.
Us happy people are content when there is no other choice that you lucked into and I'm happy for you.
We all wish the same.
Politely asked, are you here to rub your speed in ?
Because it doesn't work for me to be impressed or jealous.
Never will I sell out my country life for any reason.
~I deal with the cards dealt to me ~ and go with life.
Yes, times change and am becoming very proud of Hughes after coming back 18 months ago with the 9000 and happy 6 weeks ago my speed doubled+ with Consistently with only an occasional 1 minute slow down to PAST normal 1.7M pro plan plus at $84 (sales tax) so my TMZ log of 3,546 tests would be nick picking... »testmy.net/quickstats/marsh_0x
Please notice what you get with WB, should you look at the proof in the pudding.
Remember TMZ tests a bit different than other sites, btw the slow tests posted using that other site (forgot the name) is a pure comedy with my testing, shows such wrong low speeds haha
Hughes shows 3.4-3.5 almost always not to be consider a conspiracy fake test haha
Use a 100MB file from a "dedicated server" like File Hippo and I get 393KB so simple math times 8 = 3.144M
Now the past can/was to be true, I started with the 6000, 7000, 7000s
Cancelled 2 years ago with the 7000s when for the last 2 months my speed dropped to a disgusting IRONIC at EXACTLY 3:01 pm cst until slowing recovering at 11pm cst.
Yep, the Indians spoke excellent English always, would not transfer me to higher support so left for Wild Blue through Dish Network, yep WB was great for 3 months and then went downhill with speed, they said no penalty to let me out of contract. But remain because I can.
Sorry for not being very active in posting here, but just had to.
Rant is over...
