    Because that's the answer when it comes to HughesNet and accelerators.  The effects of using one will range from absolutely nothing to detrimental.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with it.  It's not likely to improve anything to the extent that would be noticed, if at all.  Geostationary satellite tends to be a bit less responsive than ground based services, and mainly because of the high latency and more extensive infrastructure, neither of which are going to be positively affected by an accelerator.
