Price of Internet
I had to call to either cancel my account or lower the cost. In the start we purchase the dish then pay monthy for the internet. After the dish is paid for the price of the internet should be lowered...
The price for equipment, whether you buy it up front or lease it every month, is separate from the fee for the internet service, so the fee for the internet service doesn't go down, regardless of equipment ownership. You have to options when it comes to the equipment:
- Pay for the equipment up front and never pay a lease fee. With this method, you own the equipment.
- Lease the equipment with a monthly fee, and the equipment remains the property of HughesNet. It's not a lease to own service.
And when you lease it, it's never "paid for". Not nominally speaking, of course, but in regard to the Terms of Service.
As for the cost comparison to cable, satellite internet is the most expensive mainstream internet, per capita, to provide. Cable is cheap in comparison, as are other mainstream forms of interenet service.
