Annette, pretty sure you were charged a $99 activation fee because of the area where you live, and you ordered thru an online sales agent.

If you order through a local neighborhood retailer, they won't charge that $99 fee. Also, they'll take better care of you than any sales agent sitting in some cube farm who knows where. 

To locate a Retailer, go here and put in your ZIP Code: http://www.hughesnet.com/index.cfm?page=Local-Dealers
