Garyr, I signed up with Hughes a little over a month ago. Had a line of site IP before, no problems till trees grew and stop the signal. Had no choice but Hughes. I use the internet for everything, email, reading news, music, podcast, youtube, movies. Overall with Hughes everything was much slower. Since day one I had many conversations with tec support at all levels with many speed test and adjustments to my settings. According to tec everything that can be done has been done. because of the $400 cancellation fee and no other choice, I have resigned to the slow speeds. Since I want to watch movies most evenings the only way I have found to make watching watchable because of buffering issues is to go into settings and turn off "data saver". And this brings me to the core problem that I have with Hughes, data cap. 20GB will be eaten up if all I do is to watch 15-20 movies and do nothing else, no emails, no reading NYT, no podcast, no nothing. Of course all I have to do is to pay for some more data tokens. Ha Ha what a scam, no way to improve service until you pay more. Good luck Gary. I am telling everyone I know in my community do not sign up with Hughes.
