No other internet available

The fact that the cable companies want nothing to do with rural areas is not HughesNet's fault.  If we didn't have HughesNet we'd be on dialup. And if you think HughesNet is slower than dialup, you should get a dialup account. 

You should contact the cable companies and ask them why they don't want you as a customer. You should also contact your representatives in Congress and ask them why they don't bring cable and fiber to your area.  Don't blame the one company that actually brings something to the area. 

HughesNet does offer high speed internet as defined by the federal government. They're satellite internet, though, not fiber or cable. Want fiber or cable? Move to the city.

They don't lie -- the ads, the website, and the legal documents are full of disclaimers explaining the limitations of the service.  Problem is people don't read. They jump in without doing research and then they blame others for their own deficiencies. 

The wifi booster won't make your service faster -- it's not what it's for. It extends the service to rooms that have a weak signal. If you're looking for a device to make your internet speed faster, that's not it. Satellite internet is a limited technology; that's the reality of it. 

Take off your tinfoil hat. HughesNet is providing a service, they're not in any way responsible for whether cable gets to your area. Your local and state government are much more responsible for that. Lobby them.
