Re: [Installer] HT1000 My first install! hmm, I might be able to work around that messenger wire by using the second cable of the Siamese one that is down there now to act in it's place. But I notice that cable is about identical to what Dish Network is using to handle their High Def stuff. Where is that messenger wire hooking to? Ground? Are you an installer Corrosive? |

said by Kman08 :Sharky, thanks for posting the link I read through it. But it still left me wondering, can one of the lines the fed the HN7000S modem still be used. I just put brand new dual data 3G cable in the ground out to our dish and would hate to have to redo all that. I suppose that with a steel fishing tool and some wire lubricant I might be able to fish the wire through. That would be fun I am pretty sure. As I bet the cable would get hung up at the corners, given the fact that the internet coax is not the only line down there. There is the cable for the HD antenna as well as Dish Networks cables for their HD and analog too. So sometimes the cables get a little freaked up inside the pipe along the 100/110ft or so distance. Is it still a 3Ghz cable? Or some kind of a special cable with a dual core in it??

I had my 7000 upgraded to the 9000 a while ago and did not have to change the cable, as far as I can tell you should still be able to use your existing cable for the Gen4, as long as it is good. |

Garbage in, Garbage out To give you an Idea of the blazing speed (HaHa) of satellite internet "HughesNet HN9000 system". I cleared the browser cache, it took 14 sec to load this very page your viewing. Total download amount was 316.91KB which translates into 2.53Mb. Keep in mind 900ms .... when your browser fetches this very page there are a total of 55 request. Of the 55 request file size ranges from 13B to 68KB.
A brief summary of these satellite internet providers, they deliver nothing more than bottom of the barrel service. They are sorta like garbage trucks, the differences is they don't pick up your garbage, they dump it in your yard and charge you a fee!
If consumers would refuse the purchasing of over priced products and services, prices would be adjusted down to there true market value. It is rather apparent we have a over abundance of idiots in the united states. I see this trend continuing! |

Re: [Installer] HT1000 My first install! Not an installer, just someone with an NDA.
I will say, these pages are loading in under one second for me. 
Also, the wire is grounded on the dish, but the end on the inside goes to nothing, just wrapped around the cable. |

Re: [Installer] HT1000 My first install! Alright, brief post here... Someone remind me of where the "service area map" is for EchoStar XVII? Because we recently called HughesNet and they said "it's not available in our area at this time." And we live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which I thought was in the service area... but I might be remembering wrong. |

Its nothing more than a black Hole! @CORROSIVE88
With a total of 40 of so users having the entire Gen 4 satellite all to them selves your assessment is somewhat irreverent.
How about throwing 2 Million users on the Gen4 Satellite as HughsNet has plans for overselling and lets see how fast your assessment gets sucked into a Black Hole of nothingness! |

2 edits | Far more than 40 people friend, far more. I also can not give a number to that, but it is far more than 40. So your statement is still invalid. Also, 2 million, on a 100Gbps satellite won't do much, most websites won't push to you at 10Mbps for most anything, honestly, most web browsing I barely see a site push above 4Mbps to me, and it's only for fractions of a second.
Now if that 2 million was pulling 10Mbps all at one time for extended durations, yea, it might cause a few issues, but not as badly as you would think.
Doc, I could have sworn that Northern Michigan was on the theoretical map... Maybe they don't yet have all the information? Or the signal just can't make it there and be steady?
Below is the only thing I can find, which was just a theoretical map based upon what Viasat had I am going to assume.
EDIT: I found something that is apparently more accurate..

Re: [Installer] HT1000 My first install! Oh, wow... There's a lot more "dead zone" than I remember. And the Upper Peninsula is part of it. Huh... So over half the entire country can't even get this "state of the art upgrade," it seems. That's pretty disappointing...
Thanks for looking this up, C0RR0. I appreciate it. |

If Hughes truly placed 2 million people on the same satellite, congestion could be a problem. But the chances of them finding 2 million people seems extremely low. |

I have no idea if they will find them, but 2 million is 4 times what they have on Spaceway 3, and ES17 has 10 times the capacity of SP3. Hence one would expect better performance on ES17 even if the 2 million number was reached.

Sorry about the bad news Doc, it looks like they moved a few beams and that is most likely what cut off some areas... At least, when you compared the theoretical map and the current actual service map.
That means you will be stuck on the slower Spaceway 3 service with "improved" speeds, which, honestly... I don't see happening ever with that thing only being 10Gbit unless they drop a good chunk of consumers... Which could happen with the eastern half of the states being kicked from being sold that connection.
You can actually tell where one base station is on that one picture. XD
But yea, 2 million customers even on 12Mbps package won't cause an issue, but, we also don't know who else could be on that satellite (business contracts...), and there is potential, though small, that more than 2 million can end up on it in time. |

Actually, that is the most recent map where service is going to be sold and can be used...

The theorized map is the one that depicts the two satellites and uses shades of green on the map. |
