I have been a lurker on here for several years and now I am able to be rid of this nightmare! I just got EVDO and love it and I want to or I am canceling HN I am not in a contract so what is a good way to do it and be done with HN ? I have seen on here where some had canceled and HN  continued on billing them. For the ones that is tired of hughenet I would check to see if you can get EVDO or some kind of wireless I live in the rural part of WV and I figured we would be the last to see any thing. I played online games last night that I only dreamed of playing with HN! Thanks for any helpe.

I myself just called HN and stopped it that way. NOt that hard if not under contract anymore. And the reason I never got the new modem, I knew better service had to be around the corner also. Yeah EVDO is great in comparison. So did you get Sprint or Verizon?  Very Happy

Be aware that when you get ready to play games on line you need to disconnect and then reconnect because Alltel will disconnect you every 12 hours. If you get disconnected in the middle of a game it will probably piss you off, it does me. Just some advice.

Yeah, I have been with Hughes for about 3 years, still waiting to put it out of the window!

I have been arguing with Verizon, apparently I can get DSL but the slow package which is still faster then Hughesnet, my turn on date is the 29th, this will be the fifth attempt and according to the English speaking American woman I spoke with yesterday they have already been out and put a bridge on my line!

Thats something new Smile

Fingers crossed on this on, I still may go EV-DO as I think it will still be faster then Verizon, I will see what speeds I get as I am a long way from my exchange hence the bridge.

The bridge as explained to me will extend the line to allow DSL over such a long distance, sounds like a crook to me. LMAO.

Out of interest, what is your Upload speeds averaging? and is that download speed pretty stable?

Verizon only responded after I used the BBB on them, they soon changed their tune! lol.

Hughesnet is the Premier PILE OF CRAP that we in the USA use to get Broadband HA HA HA in rural areas.

It is over priced, slow, always off, Indian support, Satellite 2 way junk.

Sorry if that seems a little nasty, but it is the truth!

I think the best way for all would be just go to NOC and bust the dishes   knuppel2
