Future of Hughesnet.
Been on Hughesnet for about a year and a half now. Believe it or not, I'm not here to complain. I did my due dilligence. Knew the shortcomings of satellite internet before I got it. But we're...
As more people switch to the starlink system, I would assume that some of the bandwith issues associated with hughesnet and viasat should subside...hopefully we can finally get at least close to the advertised speeds. I can't speak for viasat customers, but as a hughesnet subscriber any relief would be much appreciated.
Starlink and a few other options seem to be rising to beat not only the speeds, but latency issues of geostationary satellite systems. Of course, Hughesnet can't easily expand their capacity, or counter latency unless someone figures-out Star Trek 'subspace' tech a bit early.
Will be interesting to see if they have any retention plans. At least dropping the gear rental after 2 years or whatever.
