(ratings match consensus)

    IF you live where there is no option for cable (which my nearest neighbor has), or DSL (1 mile down the road) or any other service except dial-up, then satellite is the only option. It has been good for downloading software updates, etc., but the lag is frustrating at times and depending on the time of day, the speed gets bogged down also. Basically I pay 3 or 4 times more for Hughes than DSL which would be WAY better. I look forward to the day when I can drop them, but going back to dial-up would be even more painful at the moment....

    Hughes getting worse and worse

    I agree with the last comment - if you can't get cable, and can't get DSL, then Hughes is probably your only choice. Unfortunately, with the strict FAP limitations and a service that gets slower and slower, it's getting closer to dial up. It is decent for single file downloads (if you don't exceed FAP!!!) but most websites load a lot of stuff and the lag is painful. You may as well walk a way for a while when loading secure sites.
