Bad weather, internet speeds

Does bad weather ( including thunderstorms ) seriously affect HughesNet's download or upload speeds?

It can.

Weather can affect your connection along two paths:

First the line-of sight-path between your dish and the satellite

Second, the line-sight-path between the satellite and your ground based Gateway facility.
