Hughesnet more than dissapointed Internet
I have been happily disconnected from the world for a year. Because of my health issues and my disability, friends were concerned as I live on a mountain with no services or neighbors. There are no land lines for telephone. Cell phones do not work. At an expense to me (1/2 of my monthly income) that I really could not afford, I was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century with the sole purpose of being able to tie into some kind of phone service strictly for emergencies (and for the peace of mind for my 70 year old mother who is sure I will die and my dogs will eat me...) The main issue I have (after 4 thrilling days of internet in my home) is that the upload speeds from hughes net are so low that other things cannot be applied to your system (mostly any type of paid,or pre paid phone services). Again, more than dissapointed that "high speed" doesn't seem to be anything but words....
