Hughes Satellite do you use it ?

I have not used them. Out where I live you have 2 choices. WildBlue or HughesNet. We have WildBlue. I had considered switching to HughesNet after having so many problems with our WildBlue service, but they wanted like $500 to install the stuff.

i never used hughesnet but i do have verizon dsl and it works great and i've had no problem with it and i've been with them for over a year now ,so i would recomend it for sure ,try it ,i'm sure you wont be disappointed ,and its only 12.99$ a month for the first year so go ahead and give it a try

I have had Hughesnet for about 6 months now and I don't like it at all. Before I moved, I had DSL and it was so fast. Now I keep getting RTT and uplink problems. I just checked my speed and it's only 80 kbps. I'm on the home plan and I'm supposed to get "up to" 700 kbps. But that's where they get you...with the "up to" part. Oh and I hate the Fair Access Policy. It's not fair at all. I can't watch videos, or even instant movies on Netflix...Well I guess I could, between the hours of 2-5 am (the only times the FAP is not in effect) but I'm rarely up at that time. I hope that they get DSL out where I am in the next few months..And as far as the customer service goes, my opinion is that if it is an American company, they should have Americans working in customer service.

Oh wow this is my only option besides dial up where we live. I always though Hughesnet would be great. It is very expensive and that is why we are still on dial up. I wish they would hurry up and get DSL where we live. :)

No, I don't use it. It sounds like their service is bad. Well, I have to use dialup because of various reasons, most importantly it's the cheapest, and the second most important reason is because it's not my house, and they won't permit me to get DSL or cable becuase people will have to come in and install or upgrade our stuff (our phone lines are very old...so they would have to do that for DSL). It's too bad that your satellite isn't working well for you. I have heard of them, and was going to consider them because it seemed like a good solution, but they wanted far too much money! It seemed like it wouldn't be much faster than dial up and for less than $10 a month..I can't complain with what I have (but it is annoying sometimes if I want to see a video). Pablo

I have never even heard of it- thanks for the warning though if I ever come across it!
