Personally, I was using Wild Blue when I was living in Oklahoma in 2004 - 2009. My installer yesterday said "This is much better than Wild Blue".

A simple text page with a few graphics on Hughes takes 5 seconds before ANYTHING starts to show. Hughes Satelite service is SLOWER than DSL I was using in Olahoma. THATS BAD!!!
This is the slowest broadband I have ever used.
Something that's important for subscribers to understand is that each subscriber's experience is unique and it depends on many different variables, including location, beam, weather, number of devices connected to the network, and others.
It would be quite foolish for subscribers to rely on or place too much weight on the experiences of others.
It is also important for people to know that satellite internet should not be compared to terrestrial cable; the two are different technologies, and satellite internet can't (at least right now) be as fast as cable internet.
This site is best used for its intended purpose: finding solutions to problems by tapping the collective knowledge of fellow subscribers, with the ocassional intervention of Hughesnet corporate employees (who have far more authority to provide solutions than do other tiers of customer support such as phone and chat).
If you'd like support for your speed issues, you should create a detailed post under Tech Support.
