Re: If you don't like them, then leave.
Why is it that when someone says they are happy with the service from Hughes they are immediately branded as a sucker, and/or own shares in the company? What kind of nonsensical idiotic statement is that? It works for me, therefore I am happy with it. It is not any more complicated than that.

As for me being retarded for preferring satellite over cable and/or DSL. Let me see, Qwest took over 3 months to install DSL in Phoenix. And then, I had nothing but trouble with the service. Exceptionally poor customer service and response to my technical problems, etc.. Not to mention problems with the IP address due to spammers coming from Qwest's domain, thereby having the IP address blocked from countless domains.

As for cable, Cox cable was down for an average of 8 hours each month. Even when it was running, the best I could do was less than my worst day with Hughes. As for the reliability of Hughes, I only experience an average of 5 hours per year downtime due to storms. But that is normally associated with the power going out.

Personally, I do not play online games like WoW so I could care less about latency. What I have works for me. If it doesn't work for you, then go elsewhere. To do nothing but complain about your service and continue to use it is truly retarded.
