Plan & platforms
Can someone please explain the pro's & con's on the following plan & platforms.
1. Gen4 on J1
2. Gen5 on J1
3. Gen5 on J2
I have been trying to do research to find the best plan for m...
Liz, is that to say then that once a Gen5 plan is selected, there will be no difference in performance if a user is aimed at either ES17 or ES19 and the only reason to go with a HT2000w modem is if a user wants the integrated WiFi?
That's right, Gwalk. There's no difference in service since both satellites can support Gen 5. The HT1100 can run Gen 5 too, but those plans won't be available on EchoStar 17 anytime soon. As the others have been saying, we need to get customers off EchoStar 17 and onto EchoStar 19 before we can start offering Gen 5 on the older satellite.
