Dont forget about the cap!

You are aware of the monthly limit, right?

Re: Dont forget about the cap!

Yes. Not thrilled about it, but my daily FAP limit is greater than by dial up downstream total for the whole month of March, according to my firewall stats.

KA versus KU reviews

You probably have the newer KA band service via the Spaceway3 satellite. A lot of the ,shall we say, 'negative' reviews here are mainly for the KU band service. Would be nice if the users could post their service platform in their reviews.
There have been some glitches with the KA band service but people are more happy with it. Even though they would be more happy with wireline or a good ground based wireless Internet platform.

And WildBlue's beams are probably sold out if you can not get a install from them.

Consumer Rights is more than just a suggestion.

Re: KA versus KU reviews

Yes indeed, I am on the KA band service (HN9000).

Good suggestion about including the type of service in reviews. I've updated mine accordingly.

Hughes HN9000 - Elite Plan

I have been a Hughes.net subscriber for about 3 years. I was on the Pro Plus Plan and got inconsistent speeds....sometimes very slow during peak hours. But, this is the only option I have- - other than dial up. My service was almost always up and running, however. Very few interruptions.

One month ago I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to the HN9000 router and to the Elite plan. Yes the price tag is steep at $119 per month. But, my speeds are much, much better (even during peak hours) and more consistent. I am on a new satellite now and am getting 2100 kbps mps and uploads of 300 kbps consistently. Latency is less than 1 sec. I'm much happier and pleased and finally feel like I'm getting what I'm paying for.
