I am thinking of getting Hughes.net internet service and would like to know what people who are using it think of it.
Thanks, Jerry |

Satellite Internet service should be avoided if there is any other choice at all.
The issue is latency....that is the speed of the data going up and back to the satellite. Its to slow for most security protocols (think online banking, credit cards etc etc.,..) the security programs will time out alot of times. I have dealt with this many many times. Its a poor solution unless it is all you can get. For TV it works just fine (cable is all satelitte anyways) Internet....try to find another way. Rich |
