I'm just wondering if Hughes is planning shooting up new satellites in the next few months? I know there are news about 2021 or something like that, but I don't think that it's good enough. So far, there are 4! corporations working hard on building new Satellite Internet system, with literally tens of thousands of new satellites, all over the United States, low orbit, low latency, crazy fast speed, no data cap, etc. We are talking about Billions of dollars, huge projects. The government gave green light for 1 corporation already. So the question is, if Hughes going to run and start the system uprading immediately? Getting in business would force today's 3 Large existing satellite Internet providers upgrading, shoot up new low orbit satellites, wiping off data caps, or at least raising it to a Terrabyte or something, working on latencies, the ping is 650 or so at this point, 1 new company promises around 50, and that would be low enough to play online games. 650 is no way for any FPS or similar games. Also, if the 3 large satellite providers wants to stay in business, they - beside upgrading the the speed and removing data cap - has to lower the prices too. There is no exact prices for the new projects, but people are guessing under $50. So far, I'm ok with Hughes. Not much better than Dish was, but the customer service is more nice and they gave US a deal too. I didn't find any news about it, but I hope Hughes can upgrade their system really soon, working on a solution to stay in business, shooting up a few more satellites in a very close futre, removing data cap, lowering ping, lowering the monthly fee and customers can get fast and relliable capless Internet, and gladly pay for the service. :-)
