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.

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!
