It's nice to see someone post something positive for a change. That's nothing against anyone, as I wouldn't expect a support community to have too many positive posts, as people primarily come here for help due to experiencing an issue of some sort, but it's still nice to see.
I've had HughesNet/DirecWay for 14.5 years, and other than replacing a radio back in 2006/2007, and a slowdown for a few months when I upgraded from the DW7000 to the HN7000S modem, I've had no major issues. It's been good enough for me that I convinced my folks to sign up for it in 2016 (they stuck with dialup until then), and they've had very good luck with it, too. They call me for any issues they have with their computer or internet, and I've not had one HughesNet related call from them.
I would switch to cable or fiber if either of those came along, of course, and I'm sure Hughes would expect me to, but my 14.5 years with them has been, for the most part, a positive experience. :)
