I used Hughes for 2 winters in FL - my only complaint is the satellite latency - I was connecting to my office thru a VPN to do desk work and was seeing about a 980 msec latency, which meant a key stroke and wait a sec for response, not fast enough for me

This may be a personal opinion, but it this is related to Hughes.net I would not touch it. We had hughes.net internet in the stick house. After a couple of years it quit working. In a three week period I spent over 13 hours on the phone with tech support. Each time I called they told me it was fixed and would take about 24 hours for the changes to take effect. They never did. I finally told them to cancel the service, they refused. They kept billing me even though I told them that their service did not work and I did not want the service. I wrote them a letter explaining my position. A year later they turned me over to a collection agency. I sent my original letter with a further explanation to them. I never heard anything more from that collection agency. Two years later I received another attempt to collect from a different collection agency. I sent them the original letter along with my explanation from the first collection agency. I've heard nothing further from the second collection agency. It is now close to two years after the last attempt to collect. I would not be surprised if I receive a third attempt to collect in the near future. We will never do any business with Hughes.net.

I have had dishnet satellite internet for almost seven months and have been happy with the speed and conductivity of it. Haven't used up the allotment in a months time yet. We now use the Parks WiFi for live streaming and Dishnet for banking and secure stuff. So far So good. They meaning Dish will move it once a year for free. The pole needs to be cemented in the ground. Some times hard to find enough room for it. Otherwise its all good.
