I need to find all the places to schedule those... otherwise I am starting them manually when I am up for the bathroom one of my four or five times each night.
Puppylover, I have to agree with Jezra. This doesn't seem like a good fit for you. I have never been able to have cable internet, or fiber (except at work for the phone company). The most recent experience was 1.5MBPS DSL on a bad pair that the local phone company refuses to replace (no good pairs to cut to). The phone company has been allowing my internet to regularly fail daily for EIGHT YEARS. They refuse to replace 50 yards of six pair cable. When I lived in Denver, our techs used six-pair wire as a drop!
I know I can manage our network and expectations to be content with HughesNet. I also can appreciate what else I have here where there are no other internet choices: Egyptian and Polish Arabians, cattle, chickens, Nubian goats, wildflowers, being on many bird and butterfly migration routes, living near a private managed wetlands.and being able to see it from my living room window.
I have expensive internet, expensive electricity, longer drives and higher gasoline prices. Often propane is higher than natural gas prices. It is, for whatever reason, expensive to live where my neighbors are more than a quarter mile away in any direction. In a weird way, it made doubling the cost of my access while cutting it severely kind of expected. I was hoping to have high speed internet (the phone company said it was here on their website - it lied). But, no luck.
Yes. Leave Hughes. Spend the money on cable internet with no latency, no weather issues, etc. Most of us if we had other options would take them. Cable internet gets you more for your money than satellite.
