Bye Bye Hughes net.

Last week I canceled Hughes net due to issues with my system and there incompetent technical support including level 2 support.

No longer will I have to deal with them assholes that cannot talk nor understand common English.

I went back to Dial-up after being with them for 2.5 years, dial up is going to be a little slower, but its cheaper and more reliable then camel internet.

The story is long and I will make it short as to my reasons....

My modem would drag its ass, it had issues with TCP acceleration, kept going offline and would not come back on, the idiots messed with it for a bit, ran test after test after test, I got tired of the tests, I got tired of the same damn calls with different support numbers, I got tired of it all.

Then they started messing me around, they did not know what was wrong and told me it should be ok now, all they did was delete the error logs, yeah that will fix it.

They used ranging time and time again, for what, just to find my modem still did the same thing, I am done.

I hope all you Hughes net peeps get more out of it then I did, I bought all my junk, and that is all it is, JUNK, $500 for the system, $59.99 a month for the service for 2.5 years = $2299.70 and a serious headache and a big ass paper weight.

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.

Thats true Aggr3, it was like $10 more a month for me.

So try EVDO sparky. It might help you out. 

And if you catch a start up deal, no equipment charges. Same goes for you Aggr3.   

I wouldn't go back.

Oh, you have it made then, for peace and quiet. 

One thing I love about bad service and availability. 

Few neighbors. 

Its my old Buddy Aggr3....

Long time no speak, type or what ever! Hows things with you these days?

Sadly Wildblue is not any better. I have come to the conclusion that satellite internet in general sucks balls!!! Basically with Wildblue you get a more consistent download, but then they stick it to you on the latency!!!

It doesn't matter what time or what day of the week it is your pings will never look any better than that.
