HughesNet

[Awlknottedup]

Anyone here HughesNet knowledgeable? I want to reprovision an existing system for a few months while the phone company gets DSL to my new Ozark home.

Friend of mine had Hughes net for a couple years. Said it was ok but slow. I had one I can't remember the name of, Sun something or other, I used for one month and tore the dish off my house. Wouldn't work at all more than fifteen minutes. I would Google up some blogs or something before I signed up for a years worth.

I am very knowledeable of hughs net. STAY AWAY FROM IT. RIP OFF. DO NOT let them take there monthley fees direct from your credit card or bank account. You WILL be SORRY. It is based in India not the United States. Just pull up the rip off report on the internet on hughs net. Thousands of complaints!!!

I've had Hughesnet for two years now and all has been fine. Good service, easy to reach by phone, etc. It IS what it IS . . . a satellite uplink/downlink system. Works much better then any dial-up but will never be as good as DSL.

Can't say I know what you mean though, by "reprovision." If you mean move from one location to another, as long as the account is current and you know how to point at the correct satellite - no problem.

I have had Hughesnet for about 1.5 years now. I am on the new satellite they put up. It is wonderful!!! A minor glitch here & there. But almost NO downtime. I don"t like their FAP though. 500 % better than dial-up. Better than some DSL I have used also.

The company I work for has it, if it is heavy cloudy forget using it, they always have to switch to dial up if it is bad weather.

Had it for over 6 years. Only a few times with poor signal due to weather. The Fair Access Policy is occasionally a problem (when my daughter decides she has to watch tv shows from the net) but not unmanageable. We"re happy with it.

have it and still using it without much issues, Iam on it daily with business parts look ups all time. Once while has trouble on real fog days but so do the other systems. As far as the india ? comment direct out of accounts i do not know it is just like any other bill statement it shows up monthly, at least that wht mine is.

Friend of mine had it. Worked great between 2-4 in the morning. Other times. It was a crap shoot.

My choices for ISP"s were dial up or satellite servers. I"m using Hughes Net and can"t really say I"ve had any trouble. It"s expensive for what you get when compared to cable, but at least there is a choice.

Read the terms of the agreement carefully, there's probably a big penalty for leaving after only six months.

I had it for a couple of years before DSL was available. It has limitations with latency and interruptions but it's better than dial-up. I kept the dial-up account while we had Hughes but didn't use it very often.
