Re: [General] Home Fusion install scheduled Must have overlooked that. When it first came out, it was like $199 which included the equipment and install, then it was like $100 off. So, now its free a free install?
I'll look back on the site, I honestly didn't read every line.
thx.
said by Jim_in_VA:According to the website "Installation included and no activation fee" ... so its free with a two year contract.

| For how much they charge for service, I would think the install would be free. After 2 months of service, the rest is profit. |

When I signed up for homefusion got the equipment for free,but anyways they said they could install homefusion for me but the tech said i was getting 28% signal strength,we refused to install it,but are looking into a possible cable company in our area |

At 28% is your area fully upgraded to LTE yet? I know cable would be all around better if you can get it, but for most of us it isn't ever going to happen. |

| Yeah I have 4g in my area cuz i use it on my phone,and i get only 2 bars |

| Checked again to see if HF was available yet and it isn't. Verizon map shows us in the solid 4G LTE area but their software still says no. Anyway, we got the Verizon Jetpack about 3 months ago. It was operated flawlessly in 4G all this time. Even with the JP in my basement it stays in 4G. If it wasn't for the cost per Gig and wanting an Open NAT for gaming, I wouldn't even be considering HF.
I was thinking about going down to the Verizon Store to see if they could over-ride the system until I read of all the disconnect problems in another thread. Maybe HF is still too much of a Beta product to push the availability concern with Verizon. Still waiting to hear from some of you guys who said you'd report back after your installation. How about it? Love it, hate it, any problems?
Oh, I just gotta tell you guys about the call from HughesNet after I cancelled their sorry service. I'm sitting in my man cave playing Halo 4 online with 4 friends and HughesNet calls me. I put them on the speakerphone and left the sound up on my game.
HN: How are you this evening?
Me: Doing great. Playing Halo online with some friends.
HN: So I guess you're enjoying your HughesNet service.
Me: Are you kidding me? You can't play online with HN. I'm using Verizon 4G to play online.
During all this, the audio from the game is really booming through my Surround Sound system and sub-woofer. Weapons firing and all kinds of stuff blowing up.
HN: We're sorry to see you leave the HughesNet family. Why are you leaving?
Me: You have to ask? Oh, of course you do. You're reading from a script. No offense to you, as you're only an employee doing your job, but HN sucks the big one.
I went on about the slow speeds, high Ping (1100 or so), and the fact you never talk to someone who has English as their first language unless it's a sales goon. Tech support is always Ali Baba.
Anyway, I hadn't had that much fun in a LONG time. It was just one of those moments you usually only dream about. Sure was a pleasure to FIRE HughesNet.
Back on topic. So, any news to report about installation and operational problems with HF? |

With the current gen of wireless services available I would never go wireless over wired if you have the choice. I purchased a homefusion setup for my dad because he has no other choice. He's been happy with it, but has had the issues where the service goes dark due to the firmware problems. Meanwhile my FIOS service is rock solid, couldn't be happier with it. And I don't have to watch my usage each month. |
