We tried the Hughes Net satellite because I was ticked at our local cable company and the phone company over their high speeds and what we paid.
Hughes Net was as slow as molasses, similar to dialup although a little faster. And of course when I called Hughes Net with questions before ordering I was told it was awesome. Well yes, for ‘awesome’ speed it was $350 per month and I wasn’t willing to pay that.
So Hughes Net was a big mistake here.
Wow, Internet is crazy in the U.S. I was depressed when I was in the UK in 2003 and found out that my house wouldnt have 256k internet for another 8 months. I pay $60.00 / month for 160 Mbps in Tokyo.
