tmbedocs Posted August 12, 2015 CID Share Posted August 12, 2015 We are stuck in slo mo. Frontier is the only local carrier for so called high speed internet. 3mb downloads is the fastest but the tech told me that the the actual top speed in 1.4mb download speed. Routinely through the day we are actually around 450kbs. Is hughesnet gen4 for worth the money? Is 10mbps actually 10? I have read that a bunch of people are only getting 1mps download. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmbedocs Posted August 14, 2015 Author CID Share Posted August 14, 2015 3mbps download is advertised actual best is 1.4mbps but most days I have to power cycle the modem so that I am not stuck at 256kbps. I called to compain yesterday thats when I found out that my actual max is 1.6mbps. I need to do something. I am using my mobile hotspot right now. But it just chews up my data plan. Is Hughs net Gen4 a viable option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted August 15, 2015 CID Share Posted August 15, 2015 Its an option, but satellite internet is strongly not recommended.. Have you looked to see if their are any ISP's in your area that offer 4G internet?? That may be cheaper and much more reliable! Well, that is depending how rural you are, if you get 4G. For example http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/lte-internet-installed/ Sorry, im not important anymore, so i cannot see your IP address so know where you are located..

tmbedocs Posted August 17, 2015 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thats what I was thinking of doing. We do have a Sprint hotspot. I have had speeds anywhere from 20mbps to 1mbps. If we lived less than a mile closer to town we would be able to get time warner but thats my luck. Thanks for the help. Its just frustrating.
