Is Hughesnet high?

"ElitePremium 5.0 Mbps - Fastest $349.99 "

$350 a MONTH and you only have a 500 MB a day cap? If you can afford that you might as well move to an area where you can get REAL internet. I feel sorry for Hughesnet customers. This should be investigated. Price gouging in the extreme.

Does Hughesnet think anyone is so stupid as to purchase that package?

Well, if your coming from a 5MBPS+ cable/dsl connection to Hughes, someone could easily be pulled into that.

1.5MBPS T1 can run over $700/month, so its a pretty good price for rural customers, IF you actually get that speed.

Hughes is having so much trouble giving customers 700kbps - 1.5mbps, that they shouldn't even advertise a 5mbps package.

You might be able to get a T1, but here they run $650/month - $800/month.

Here $850 is the low end for a T1 with one carrier supplying that price and the others come in at $1100+/month. 90 miles from here you can get a T1 for $400 or slightly less per month.
