Because I live in the country, I do not have a choice of internet providers. The cable companies only want to serve densely populated areas, because they make higher profits there. So, here I am stuck with this horrible service. I have had Hughes for over 4 years now and all it has done is get worse. They know that we in the country have no other choice, and boy, have I seen what lack of competition causes. First of all, they lie to us, they claim to provide high speed, it is not only NOT high speed, it is slower than slow, sometimes I think it is never going to download. Second, the equipment that I am paying $15.00 a month rental for, is old, worn out, and out dated. That might be the reason for my slow downloads. I can't replace any of it myself, because, only Hughes stuff will work, I considered purchasing their wi-fi booster, which is $100.00, but, with the lies they have told me over the years, how do I know it will work? Of course, no other wi-fi booster will work on Hughes. Oh, I hope we can get cable out here, we have been trying for years, it doesn't look like it will happen any time soon and it appears, that Hughes knows something about that, because, they are not worried about competition.
