Service should be on by tomorrow, parts of the upgrade should be completed today, I will find out tomorrow if I can have it or not.

They sent out the modem, it is at home ready to go, filters and all.....

I hope everything is fine, and if it is I am going to e-mail Hughesnets office and thank them for having retarded camel jockeys for tech support, and inform them that if it was not for them, I would never of found out I had DSL!

LMAO.
nice dude you've gotten farther than i ever did every time i ordered it they canceled it the next day... icon_pale

Some great news!

I got my install kit, all set up and ready to go, the turn on date was the 25th of September, NO GO!

Called tech support and spoke to a foreigner and they said there was an issue with my account? then I got another turn on date of the 1st of October, the 26th of September Verizon e-mailed me and told me I can't get it!

Verizon are a bunch of Mother*****rs, diligently doing nothing but upgrading services for people where the money is, in the big towns and leaving people like you and me to fester!

I asked them why I should pay the same as people in town and have less services and upgrades, I got no answer to that one.

Anyway, I am trying a Wireless card from my cell phone provider and it is not much faster then a dial up modem, and for $60 a month, it is going back under its 14 day return policy.

Thought I would let you all know the outcome of this and to tell you Verizon suck.

I can go and bye an EVDO card from other phone companies around here, but EVDO is not available on any network around here, I did ask them why they are selling them if the service is not available and they told me it will come one day!  uglystupid2

Go figure that one out.....  cheesy

I think I can finally get rid of the sucky Hughesnet service myself. I just got my EVDO card today from Alltel and I have 20 days to try it out. If my speed stays consistent with this speedtest, I can live with it. And no FAP...Hot damn!!!!!

Tweaked would maybe reach that a few times during the day. But you should definately be able to go twice that fast anyway.

Now grandpa has hit close a few times. And he has been tweaking.  Wink
