HughesNet ISP Cost vs. service Nationwide
I am paying $73.00 (rounding up) for my hughesnet service and have been paying for it since 2010. I am using it more than I have in the last 3 years, we just downgraded our cable to save money. This is what I am learning.
1 TMZ video takes my status meter from 100% to 75%.
As this reduces so does my speed, often breaks and needed buffering.
I am aware I have free tokens. I am also aware that in order to use them I have to wait for my status meter to hit zero - in the mean while - I have to put up with a dial up like speed.
I would gladly pay $10.00 for the service they provide.
Why so much for this service? Is it because it is the going rate? Everyone is doing it? Is someone trying to recoop the cost of putting the satelite up there? How long will this go on? The consumer gouging that is.
And try not to use the word Rural in your explanation - it's satellite, right?
