I've realized that no amount of logical conversation with HughesNet will enable them to make my internet any better. Attempts to converse with customer service is nothing but wasted energy, emotion, and countless days' worth of my time that is better used elsewhere. HughesNet is like the US Post Office - they saw this eventuality coming many years ago, had the opportunity to plan for it and be part of the evolution and solution, but they opted not to. They are taking as much money as they can from us now, probably knowing that their decision not to get into the LEO model and market will be their end.
I've decided to quit worrying about HughesNet for now, and just wait. Private Beta begins in a month or two, Public Beta begins 3'ish months after that, and main service is expected to launch within 6-12 months. I sleep comfortably at night knowing that within a year I'll likely be saving $420/month and have insane internet speed with no data caps.

What is this thing they saw?

The only thing you've done in your time here is leave one off comments on other people's topics instead of starting your own and asking for help.

No they aren't and no it won't. Not all needs for satellite internet are the same as yours. For some people and some needs, GEO satellite internet is just fine.
