Thanks Liz. I ordered this service without doing my homework. And maybe slight misrepresentation on your sales person part. I was mislead on the fap speed. I was told I would get 1mbps when faped. I get between 50 and 140 kbps. But I thank you for having the one month trial period before being locked into the contract-

I'm canceling my hughsnet service. I have access to cable and DSL. On cable I can get 20 mgps for the first 100 GB's then it drops to 5. Its $80 a month. Or I can get DSL which is 10 Mbps with no caps. I would have to get a land line phone with the DSL which could be a benefit I guess. It's about $80 a month to with the phone and internet. I watch Netflix and my son wants to get an Xbox live account. The phone company said I'm close enough to the broadband relay that I would get all 10mgps all the time. I would appreciate any and all opinions.

Keep on them about the return boxes. You've only got 45 days after your service is deactivated to return them. You know they wont ask questions they will just hit you with equipment fees.

Larretta, I figured there scam out pretty fast. First thing to tomorrow I'm going to my bank and deactivating the debit card hughsnet has on file for me and getting another. They won't have a chance to take me for anything else...it will be the best $5 I'll spend this year!

This is not for me. I burn up 10 gigs in a few days or even a day. I'm going back to cable internet. Didn't know how good I had it til I got hughesnet. Anyway should I know anything like hidden charges? The lady from hughesnet said my credit card would not be charged anymore. True or false, because frankly I don't want to pay another cent for dial up speeds dressed up like broadband.

I'm sure it has. It was just a comment. But to say never is pretty strong. And I know that all isp's have some kind of cap but most are not as extreme as hughsnet.

Just a comment. I would rather have, let's say, 1.5 or 2 Mbps consistently all month than 10 Mbps for a week or two and then get throttled.

If someone lives in the east would his service be slower or faster than someone living in the mid south or west coast? Or do we all just shoot at the same sat?

Just would like to chime in here. It is a fact that very few customers will leave a review on anything. Most of the time it takes someone being mad to take the time and effort to find a venue to review whatever product or service has let them down. Happy satisfied customers just go happy-go-lucky about their life. Just my 2 cents.

Tell me if I'm Wong in my math. If I stream 300 MB per hour from Netflix that equals to this/ 300000 kbph devided by 60 minutes equals 5000 kbpm devided by 60 seconds equals 83.3 kbps. Now if all I need is 83.3 kbps to run the lowest quality Netflix offers then the 150 kbps throttled speed should still run Netflix right? Or am I just grasping at straws?

So if I've done my math right the throttled speed is only about 128k p/s? Well I guess that's slightly better than dial up at 52k p/s.

I don't know how true it is but I was told by the hughsnet rep that after the high speed cap is reached I would have 1 megabyte per second for the rest of the month. Was that a straight up lie? I don't know but we will see. And what is this grace period you spoke of?

I have had this service for a week. I find it to be very good. We stream Netflix from 2 different rooms at the same time with no problems. I know we have hit our data cap by now but still works fine. With Netflix I think the trick is to go into settings and set the quality to .3 gigs per hour. Even when hughsnet slows to 1 megabyte per second it still streams seamlessly. We live in the mid south and our experience may differ from people that live in more populated areas but my service has been awesome so far.
