I am still waiting on EV-DO, it should be here by June of this Year!!!!! Things with me have been great! and as for speeds on the old dish, well they have stabilized a little now, they are slow most of the time! lol I am getting on average about 110 Kb down and 17 Kb up, on a good day my up will go to like 25 Kb, but it still suffers very bad lag and I know nothing can be done with that. I would like to see the new Japanese Sat that got launched the other month, it should allow 15 Gbit Per Second! that will kill Hughesnet in an instant as it is meant to be covering the world! 15Gbit Hmmmmm........ Donuts

What is smartbro and suddenlink.... Man this is what you get for not hanging out more often.

I notice that a lot of these posts are very old, am I the only one left on Hughesnet or something? LMAO Where did everyone go!

As I am not allowed to post this info on my site, here is the link to Drew Clarks website http://www.drewclark.com/category/broadband/ Maybe a Mod or Admin can make this a sticky?

This may help us all out in the long run, this is a census to help speed up broadband in the USA, please take the census or look and see what is in your area and compare the facts. Did you know the USA is 15th in the world? the inventor of the internet and we are 15th and dropping.... The Census http://broadbandcensus.com/ I posted a few articles on my website to explain what is going on.

I am still with them right now but Ntelos will have EV-DO around here by summer, for $29.99 a month I will have decent speeds (not fantastic) but better then Camel Net for half the price. I will keep you updated.

And yes, I am back on HUGHESNET! I kicked myself for doing it, but I had no choice.

I have a question, you state your not on a PRO plan in one of your posts back on Page 4 of this topic, yet your signature says you are on a pro plan and on another post you say your paying $80 a month! so what is it? Also, why does most of your speed posts not contain a validation link? Just curious.

I can go and bye an EVDO card from other phone companies around here, but EVDO is not available on any network around here, I did ask them why they are selling them if the service is not available and they told me it will come one day! Go figure that one out.....

Some great news! I got my install kit, all set up and ready to go, the turn on date was the 25th of September, NO GO! Called tech support and spoke to a foreigner and they said there was an issue with my account? then I got another turn on date of the 1st of October, the 26th of September Verizon e-mailed me and told me I can't get it! Verizon are a bunch of Mother*****rs, diligently doing nothing but upgrading services for people where the money is, in the big towns and leaving people like you and me to fester! I asked them why I should pay the same as people in town and have less services and upgrades, I got no answer to that one. Anyway, I am trying a Wireless card from my cell phone provider and it is not much faster then a dial up modem, and for $60 a month, it is going back under its 14 day return policy. Thought I would let you all know the outcome of this and to tell you Verizon suck.

Service should be on by tomorrow, parts of the upgrade should be completed today, I will find out tomorrow if I can have it or not. They sent out the modem, it is at home ready to go, filters and all..... I hope everything is fine, and if it is I am going to e-mail Hughesnets office and thank them for having retarded camel jockeys for tech support, and inform them that if it was not for them, I would never of found out I had DSL! LMAO.

I am hoping this works........ Like others on here, this is a last attempt for me, I am not going back to Hughes Camel Net. This is different for me, I used to test my number and nothing would work, it would tell me I don't have it available to me, now it is giving me options for packages and telling me I qualify for it. I am not getting my hopes up, but it would be nice to get it. Also, a contractor pulled brand new cables up on my main road about 4-6 weeks ago, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

The times you are showing are about what I used to get with Dway/Hughes. Not no more, and I think I have some great news...... I just found out I can get Verizon DSL, I just ordered the 1.5Mbps pack! I hope verizon don't screw me again.

Its my old Buddy Aggr3.... Long time no speak, type or what ever! Hows things with you these days?

I got rid of it, some of the above issues was what I was getting, not no more, Hughes net, YOU SUCK, now I canceled it and I am going back to dial up.

Bye Bye Hughes net. Last week I canceled Hughes net due to issues with my system and there incompetent technical support including level 2 support. No longer will I have to deal with them assholes that cannot talk nor understand common English. I went back to Dial-up after being with them for 2.5 years, dial up is going to be a little slower, but its cheaper and more reliable then camel internet. The story is long and I will make it short as to my reasons.... My modem would drag its ass, it had issues with TCP acceleration, kept going offline and would not come back on, the idiots messed with it for a bit, ran test after test after test, I got tired of the tests, I got tired of the same damn calls with different support numbers, I got tired of it all. Then they started messing me around, they did not know what was wrong and told me it should be ok now, all they did was delete the error logs, yeah that will fix it. They used ranging time and time again, for what, just to find my modem still did the same thing, I am done. I hope all you Hughes net peeps get more out of it then I did, I bought all my junk, and that is all it is, JUNK, $500 for the system, $59.99 a month for the service for 2.5 years = $2299.70 and a serious headache and a big ass paper weight. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.

It seems like there is a lot of this lately, I myself have just got off the phone with Level 2 tech support over on going issues with DNS, web acceleration issues and much more. So far what ever the guy from New York did seems to be working ok!

First of all, WELCOME...
