I heard that the Gen5 service starts on or after March 16th - just a couple of days away!

    I assume installs wont happen till a bit later... It's probable they will start accepting orders for the new system around that time though.

        Welp, I stand corrected, you can order Gen5 plans NOW! https://www.hughesnet.com/get-started

        25Mbps on all plans, 10, 20, 30, and 50GB

        At this point in time not sure what it has to offer me since I have the Ultra plan now. The increased speed isn't that big of a deal especially since I get 20+ Mbps download quite often now and don't care much about upload.

         

        Has been VERY slow at night but hoping it will get better once folks start moving over to the new bird.
