Thats the problem, I do not have EVDO as I am unable to get sense out of Ntelos, none of there sales people know what the hell they are talking about.

Its a shame when I have to walk in there door and ask for a demo, he tells me its 24Mbit and I show him the actual test results from this website 0.5Mbit Down and0.6 Up on an unladen system.

All I wanted was facts, not fiction.... so as yet I still do not have EVDO, but I can get it if I want it, I just do not want to waste $35 on a connection fee that I will not get back if I return it in 30 days, otherwise I am committed to a 2 year contract, another reason I am not happy about it.

EVDO is here, but I can't get any sense out of the idiots selling it, they tell me it like 24Mbit LMAO.... when I tried it I got 0.5 Mbit down and 0.6Mbit up on an unloaded network, that to me is not that great.

As you can see in the above image, the New DW6000 Modems have sleek curves, a nice nutty brown coloring with waves of delight, it comes complete with the dish and I believe this one is pointing towards the Hershey Highway as appose to the Milkyway.

You want to know how fucked up my turd is? right now I am downloading at 11.2 KB/sec... normal is around 110 but I have noticed it getting slower and slower to the point of complete bullshit, Any slower it will run backwards.

I had to get a new turd, here it is in all its mighty, and for those whom maybe thinking of getting Hughesnet/Direcway, this is what the equipment looks like.

I already took a dump on it, trouble is when I went to clean it up, I was unable to tell what was the turd and what was the turd!

Not to dig up and old topic, but EV-DO Rev A is in my area, Ntelos have it but I can't get answers from there knowledge less sales people, the same sales people telling me it will go at 24Mbits a second!!!!

I tested it on there laptop with an unloaded system, I.E. no users on the system (NEW), and I got 0.5Mbit down and 0.6Mbit up! for an unloaded system boasting speeds of 1.5Mbit a second on an unladen network I would expect to see more then that, load it up and your back to dial up again!

So what is this all about, is it worth the move from Hughesnet? for $10 less a month? is latency still an issue? ANYONE!

My speeds are consistent, they are always slow! lmao 

Its is crazy that we have to keep fighting with these idiots to get any sort of service, its crazy that we have more time logging issues then we do using the service, what is up with that.

I think you will find it was the UNHELPFUL comment you made, nothing to do with LOL!

Really, if you can be of no help, why are you here? just to annoy people?

There is always one.

I find it interesting to say the least that some providers do not want competition to service users that no one serves!

The cable industry says it supports the nine-digit ZIP code idea, but there's considerable resistance from Internet service providers like AT&T and Verizon, who suggested the requirement would be burdensome, costly, and potentially "competitively sensitive"--that is, allowing rivals to target their operations based on where they see more or fewer customers.

Its no wonder most of us are stuck with DirecWay when you have companies like this around!!!! that makes me mad!   

hughesnet, your Non-Broadband connection! 

I think the best way for all would be just go to NOC and bust the dishes  

Yeah, in total agreement with you on that one. 

WTF is hughsnet service?

Hughesnet is the Premier PILE OF CRAP that we in the USA use to get Broadband HA HA HA in rural areas.

It is over priced, slow, always off, Indian support, Satellite 2 way junk.

Sorry if that seems a little nasty, but it is the truth!

Your playing WOW over hughesnet? LMAO, that must be great in a battle.

Hughes has an extremely bad latency issue, no matter where you live.

Good job..... I am very happy for you, another satisfied Hughesnet customer gone.... DID I say Satisfied?

Take care Buddy! enjoy the high speed life hughes can only dream about.

Out of interest, what is your Upload speeds averaging? and is that download speed pretty stable?

Verizon only responded after I used the BBB on them, they soon changed their tune! lol.

Yeah, I have been with Hughes for about 3 years, still waiting to put it out of the window!

I have been arguing with Verizon, apparently I can get DSL but the slow package which is still faster then Hughesnet, my turn on date is the 29th, this will be the fifth attempt and according to the English speaking American woman I spoke with yesterday they have already been out and put a bridge on my line!

Thats something new

Fingers crossed on this on, I still may go EV-DO as I think it will still be faster then Verizon, I will see what speeds I get as I am a long way from my exchange hence the bridge.

The bridge as explained to me will extend the line to allow DSL over such a long distance, sounds like a crook to me. LMAO.

Where abouts in WV are you? I am just outside of Morgantown with 27,000 students and I am unable to get anything at this time, EV-DO is coming in July I have been told, by Ntelos so I am looking forward to that!

Use my signature and report them!

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but it seems Verizon in this state is now selling their top package with the following now.

(up to 768 Kbps) is the fastest and only package they now offer, Maybe they have oversold their allocated amount and are now having issues?

We used to be able to get a 1.5Mb pack, not no more.

Verizon suck balls.

Not sure at this time, if they are better than Hughes or matching Hughes I am going for the cost difference and the Latency difference!

Will inform you when it gets here of more

The state I am in does not see too much of anything, I am surprised I have electricity!

I tried wireless and got ripped off from Cellularone for the connection fee, A-Hole told me I should get rpetty good speeds at or above 150 Kb/s Yeah right not even half of that, it was like being back on dial up.

So I lost the $50 connection fee, back to Hughesnet.

Anyway Ntelos owns most of the network around here and they will be here by July!

Can't wait, and its only $29.99 a month.

Well......looks like ebonics to me.....part of the new english language... :haha:

But hey.....what the hell do I know........I'm just stuck with them.........

You and me both Bro !

Wow I hate Hughes with a passion, but hey, EV-DO is on the horizon, been told by July 08! Woo Hoo.

I will wait and see about that...... 

98%, yeah right.... maybe 98% of New York New York is covered.

Click on my signature and try them out, they stated I have 8 High Speed carriers in my area! LMAO...

Yeah ok, now I see where the Government get their statistics.....

98%, did you know the average speeds for high speed internet is 1.9mbits..... Wow, japan has some 15 mbits or something like that, India probably has 5 times more then what we have.

1 sat can't cover the entire world, you would need a series.  15gigabit might be the capacity, but everyone won't be getting those speeds...

Here is the CNN post...

[tt] (CNN) -- Japan launched a rocket Saturday carrying a satellite that will test new technology that promises to deliver "super high-speed Internet" service to homes and businesses around the world.

A rocket carrying a super-fast Internet satellite lifts off from its launch pad on the Japanese island of Tanagashima.

The rocket carrying the WINDS satellite -- a joint project of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries -- lifted off its pad at 5:55 p.m. (0855 GMT).

If the technology proves successful, subscribers with small dishes will connect to the Internet at speeds many times faster than what is now available over residential cable or DSL services.

The Associated Press said the satellite would offer speeds of up to [glow=red,2,300]1.2 gigabytes per second.[/glow]

The service initially would focus on the Asia-Pacific region close to Japan, a JAXA news release said.

"Among other uses, this will make possible great advances in telemedicine, which will bring high-quality medical treatment to remote areas, and in distance education, connecting students and teachers separated by great distances," JAXA said.

The rocket was launched from Japan's Yoshinobu Launch Complex at the Tanegashima Space Center.[/tt]
