Re: No improvement???

I wish I were paid, I only post those things to correct innacurate reviews because I believe peoplke should be honest and not take things off the top of their heads when they are mad and stick it online for others to take to heart when it isn't true. The improvement statement about speeds was directed at Fish btw. You say you can't do anything but email and so on from the 1990's when obviously it is wrong. I have 3 computer and one of those is being used by 2 teenage boys so you can imagine it is online costantly, I watch TV online once in a while and I play World of Warcraft and EverQuest and along with my wife on her computer for as much as 8 hours a day and I almost never use the free time except for windows or WOW updates and I FAP out maybe 3 times a year so have fun explaining how I can do all that and you can't accomplish anything but checking your email.

I can understand Hughesnet not fitting your particular type of usage but to get on here and say it isn't usefull for anything but email and then attack me when I correct you isn't right. And just for the record I will be the first one to tell people Hughesnet sucks but I give the real reasons. Read my review.

Zeddlar, Move along now.

Never happen. And btw it will make a difference because imbedded in this review is the truth for everyone to see. So difference made, lol. See 99% of the time when a consumer see's a conflict in a review they just dig deeper to get to the truth so this works.

Zeddlar, Awesome; sorry I wasn't aware my opinions didn't count and only your reviews have validity. Have a good evening, meat.

P.S. Would there be one single reason to have HughesNet, if ANY other option was available? No. Not only no, but heck no. Case closed. Whether or not God exists, you need not apply for the position, so my review won't be edited based upon anything you've said. Have a good week, oh mighty one.

Hi, again - zeddlar & all. Most of my friends have now been able to move to Verizon 3g\4gLTE service for home, with WiFi-creating devices. They have "grandfathered" Verizon Unlimited Plans, as I do - and that option is by far many, many times better than HughesNet. Of course this advice doesn't help new Verizon customers, that currently can no longer get unlimited data plans.

To clarify why HughesNet is worthless to me, besides email and basic web browsing, is because the vast majority of my personal and professional internet (data) needs far exceed HughesNet FAP - on a daily basis.

If someone else uses high data only occasionally or never, HughesNet would be fine, if it was last option on earth. I'll admit that much.

Deadheadrjp has hit the nail dead on the head with his review. Hughes sucks and if you have any other option jump on it. Read the majority of the reviews. That many people can't be wrong.

Buyer beware.

I have Houghsnet... Hate it with passion. My dialup is 26bps due to static on the line. I play WoW. There is no other option avaliable because I live in a dead zone. (No cell phone tower) Ok.. I would love to know how anyone can play on WoW with Houghsnet for 8 hours a day. I can manage 1 hour pvping before I hit my limit. Then I swap to dialup and do quest and stuff. I have the pro plan with Houghsnet. Ziggy (Whatever your name is)... for the price I pay this is rediculous. I have had the same problems with customer support as in this post. Me and several others in my neighborhood are getting a T3 line and creating our own neighborhood internet to get away from hougsnet. I am so excited! Cheers to all!
