Could Someone Walk Me Through the Dish Upgrade From A Legacy (HN9000 modem) System Please?
Seeing as you would upgrade from an HN9000, a few things would happen...
1: You would go to a monthly allowance.
2: Uploads AND downloads both count towards your allowance.
3: Depending on location, and load balancing efforts you could end up on EITHER, Echostar-17 OR Echostar-19, differen't birds, similar technologies.
4: Your transmitter, and modem would both be replaced, and the old coaxial can be reused if it's determined to be of good quality. From the sounds of it, your current cable is doing pretty good.
5: The maximum speeds on the 9000 are slightly higher than the minimum (FAP) speeds on ES-17 and ES-19 unless serious congestion is present at that time. I find I can still browse just fine, but streaming is... iffy.

Thank you so much. I will cross my fingers on the cable.
