If you can afford it, I recommend trying a new ISP for a month before canceling your current ISP.
That would mean you would have two Internet connections for a month for the family to test.
For me, that was just over $100 a month in extra cost for the month.
In these difficult times, I can understand if you tell me to 'sod off,' I can't afford that experiment.

comment #5. because my choices are limit4ed due to location.
But I appreciate the advice.
I guess I could change banking accounts and close out the account that my direct pay to HughesNet is coming from and change internet providers and phone,
but it'd take a month or more, and would probably be a bad mark on my credit report to leave Hughes Net and not pay their ridiculous termination fee.
