I'm a week and a day into this new install which hasn't worked right from day 1. Right now, I'm back on usb modem with hughesnet shut off. It's worthless to try to watch anything other than text. I called last Wednesday, the day after install when the system would not let me watch a simple video on YouTube. Streaming anything is out of the question. Yesterday, I ran tests using the "suggested" website. A few times,I actually hit the download speed I expected, but it only lasted a few seconds. Then, back to buffering. I've read responses from support saying beams are overloaded, running slow due to usage, etc.! Hey, folks, that's not my problem! You sell a system and advertise 25mbs speeds, streaming videos, and internet TV. Can't produce any of that with this system. After reading through hundreds of complaints about this very problem, it's obvious Hughesnet is just a money grabber. So, after a week of waiting for "engineering" and piddling around with the system, you can come and get it. No payment will be made on a system that fails to live up to its advertised performance.
