Gen 4 data vs Gen 5 data
The 20/50 plan is $129.99 + Lease ($9.99 or $15.00 depending on modem) + Taxes, if it costs anymore than that it's because you have additional services on your bill.
As far as the difference in costs, the new satellite that was recently launched has offered Hughes a chance to offer better service plans like the 50/50 plan, where it wasn't originally available.
If you want the 50/50 plan, you are going to have to upgrade service.
The only service available now is Gen5. Gen4 packages are no longer being offered.
With that said, I've NEVER seen a Gen4 20GB package at a price that high. Is this through a local dealer?
Not to stir the pot but Gen4 Ultra 50/50 plan at $89.99 here.
It is all relative, simply depends on time you sign up and what is available. My plan is considered "grandfathered" now so if I switched I would lose it for eternity. How it works, no different from cell phone providers, which satellite Internet is very similar to.
