The biggest problem with Hughesnet is not the speed of their system it is the throughput. Because of the limitations of their satellites, it causes a bottleneck especially during peak load times. Like taking a firehose and trying to squeeze that quantity of water through a 1/2 inch pipe. Until they get more and better satellites it is unlikely things will improve especially as they add customers.
Paul M. got a reaction from DebbieBoo in How can I speed up my internet, HUGHESNET...which is really,really slow...IF it works at all!!
