Robin, I started with Hughesnet I think before GEN4, now GEN5 mostly driven by my work needs, I'm about to pack it on and have Verizion look at putting a tower on my propery so I can get 1) paid for the tower and 2) get LTE or 5G speeds. you are reading those speed test numbers and I was directed by tech support to go to a 3rd party speed test site, problem is the 25 to 35 MEG file you are testing with....goes against your data usage. there was an issue eary on with GEN 5 and Voice, if you had both, now Voice is good....speeds....no so good.
Carmen Vitullo - where are you located?
I work from home and can not deal with this speed.
