Re: It is not about not doing research I have called them. They offered to switch me for a $400 fee and a 2 year service commitment. I decided to wait for the viasat to come on line in February. If it is no better I will cancel, pay any fee, and do without internet. Uses for the internet keep expanding, and satellite just can't keep up.
I am sorry you are tired of hearing about it, but the truth is we often do not get the little bit we pay for. We need to state this in forums like this so people who do research can know what they are getting. I know 2 people who were getting free installation with stimulus money, and they were giving them 7000 series modems. A demonstration of my system changed their minds. |

| that sucks that they weren't willing to upgrade you for free. I know many people that i talked to who had 7000's were able to upgrade to 9000's for free after they called hughesnet about poor service. Perhaps you just had the bad luck of talking to a cranky hughes rep 
Based on the complaints about the 7000's in the hughes forums that last year, i also wouldn't recommend anyone switch to a 7000. However, the 9000's are night and day in terms of performance |

In case you didn't know, 7000 are JUST AS GOOD as the 9000's. One is KU band, the other is KA. They have the same capabilities, and in several situations, there are advantages to having a 7k over a 9k. Idiot |
