Re: HughesNet Gen 4 (USA Latest News) said by janedeaux:Has anyone else noticed that what is offered is a monthly FAP? They got it wrong on Exede's packages:
»montanasatellite.com/home-2/sate···dential/
Maybe one of those Ghost companies, with zero installers. |

Hughesnet didn't released any Gen4 service offerings yet, this one is bogus LOL!
Edit: Plus, if you check the other Plans for HN9000 / 7000s and Exede, information is incorrect. |

Indeed, they do. Go to Earthlink's website and then enter your address for what services are available. If dsl is not available, they will list their dialup service as well as satellite service, which, when selected, will take you directly to Hughesnet. I just did that this morning. |

Indeed they don't. I see that they tell you it is available, and send you to Hughes (I used my own address, which likewise only has dialup and satellite listed). I suspect they get a commission for the referral.
Note that their dialup has "buy" links, but Hughes does not, because you cannot buy Hughes from Earthlink. Prior to April, 2009, Earthlink was a reseller of Hughes services. AOL was at one time as well. Neither is anymore.

Don't pay attention to this page or this post or the speeds or pricing mentioned... we got this information from a Canadian site and I don't even know if it's talking about HughesNet, G4 or what, but we modified it and pasted it onto our new site just for an idea for a template for posting Gen 4 information when it becomes available. This page was not suppose to be published online yet, so please ignore accordingly. We will be removing this information later today! Sorry for the confusion! Sometimes Google is too good!  |

THats terrible, thats not much of a improvement at all.. They promise us we will be able to watch movies and stuff but its way too small.... I was hoping to at least be able to use 2-3 GB a day....
Edit: If its bogus then thank god....... or its better to start talking people into cancel this ripoff service.. |

Though this turned out to be information that doesn't pertain to Hughes, I'm wondering if it's the reason that 7000S folks haven't gotten the rollover. If there's going to be a new way of doing things, that might explain it. |

They are trying to sign up people for Gen 4 already. The BUC on my HN7000S went TU and the local installer tells me he can't get a replacement KU transmitter so I have to do an upgrade. While talking to Hughes trying to get an install date for the 9000 the CSR tried to sign me up for Gen 4. Told him I wasn't about to wait for 2 or 3 months for Internet so I got an install date for the Ka system will be done next week.

So, it's not about capacity after all. This is a pure cash grab in a market that they can take advantage of.

So, does that mean the prices will be worse or better? According to HughesNet's history, I'm leaning toward worse.
EDIT: After looking at the spot beam maps, some states won't even be covered by this new satellite. »www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2497 |
|
| It has been known for sometime the new bird won't cover all the US. It doesn't have enough beams to do that.
Rumor has it coverage of Echostar 17 will be similar to that of Viasat-1. Then, like Exede-5, some people will have Gen4 on the older birds with not as much speed. |

Then you have an inaccurate opinion of Hughes history. The only significant change in pricing in the past 10 years was a $10 reduction when the 7000 was introduced. Other changes brought on by things like the federal subsidy were also decreases, although those didn't apply across the board like the $10 one.
Can you point to an increase? When? How much?
History is fact, not opinion.
