My brother’s family also struggled with Hughes. A company named Armstrong Internet came into the area and now their Internet is strong and dependable. They’re in rural western NY. I didn’t ask about cost, but they don’t have money so I figure it’s reasonable.
They have been putting up some kind of fiber optic cable this week but even if it’s Internet, I’m locked back into the contract for a while longer. We have been struggling with Hughes since 2002. LOL
The new Fusion plan works really good considering that our cell phones barely work in the house. It took a few tries to find the best signal in the house for the Fusion cell antenna, but I finally found a spot. Sometimes I have to use the Wifi on the car to use the cell phone. 😕 The house is a 70-year-old farmhouse with a metal roof. I put new low-e windows in it so there is a lot of stuff blocking signals besides living back in the hills.
I have never heard of Armstrong Internet, so I doubt it’s local.
