Yes, paper billing does cost more each month but I'm happy to pay the extra $5 just so hughesnet or any other unscrupulous company can't use that legal mumble jumble and charge my credit card without my authorization...continuous service or not. Hughesnet won't even let you choose paper billing as an alternate method of payment unless you call in and talk to a representative first who just happens to be in a foreign country, hardly speaks good English and makes you repeat over and over again at least 10 times that you want a paper bill and that you understand it will be an additional $5 a month...really Hughesnet? And it's shameful that you even have the gall to charge $5 a month just to receive a paper bill and then go out of your way to make it so difficult for a customer just to get it! All dubious and deceitful methods of gouging customers who are already paying an arm and both legs for a internet service I wouldn't wish on children in Africa.
