Perhaps something has changed since I shut my system down in August but,
my experiences with Hughes using a couple different VARs has been over
all good. Most of my problems have been my own ineptitude and hard
equipment failure which took time to work though.
Early on it was frustrating when setting up the first time for the summer
and in
some case at a new campsite. I have experienced power supply failure which
drove me up a wall for a few days one year. I had a rented modem go bad
one year. My Raven dish lost it's shape from improper storing in my MH and
I replaced with an E-Bay purchased .78 fiberglass. I now carry a spare
modem and power supply
Most of my difficulties have been finding the signal and getting sync'd up
once I
got a signal. I wrote all this off to lack of experience because after
messing
around and often asking for assistance on this forum I got things going. At
one
time I spent a lot of time trying to optimize the Skew thinking it was
totally
necessary to have it peaked. Don set me straight on this a couple summers
ago and I've not had a problem since.
I guess my point is with satellite use one has to manage expectations.
Things
are changing up there as Hughes tries to find a way to support or grow and
maintain their core business with competition from wireless cell service and
local cable and changing coverage. When I am in the mountains and that is
the only signal and service present I clearly understand the limitations as
compared to land wireless. What Hughes provides is close enough to meet
needs for my business and personal use. I clearly understand the bandwidth
limitations and why they moved to spot beam in order to manage capacity.
Video streaming is not what their infrastructure is designed
for...especially
for the CONUS modems like our HN7000s. 450 mbs seems adaquate if
you don't expect that.
I also understand that the mobile business we subscribe to is not a key part
of Hughes business model and we are an incidental market where land wireless
and equipment is easier and cheaper to use. I don't expect them to support
that and VARs and this forum are the support resources for mobile use at the
price we pay.

I am in the same boat. I have loved this system, even with it's
shortcomings and cannot envision going strictly to a cell phone. What
we need is someone with enough money, expertise or clout to help us all
come up with solutions for what we have. I, for one, am not yet willing
to give up on what I have.

I find I have a terrible time access websites during most of the day,
early morning and late evening as well as all night works well. I AM
assuming that there are just too many subscribers on when I am at these
times and hence the horrible delays in websites loading. I NEVER used
to have this problem. I have had my system since 2005, and yes, I have
had to replace a few components.

I guess you can do what you want with the "off topic", but I don't think these are really off topic. I agree and kept the satellite for those places that really don't have cell coverage and used it for our primary connect to the Internet, even though slower it had many advantages. Didn't discontinue until it went completely kaput. Joined this group to see if something is available (at a quasi reasonable cost) that would allow me to get back to satellite internet. I see the Hughes commercials showing residential installations with higher speed and supposedly reliable service and have been wondering it that was going to be available with any of our existing equipment. One persons opinion!!

The answer to the question is no. It is also no if the question is asked "Is it going to be available to us with different equipment." In other words, if you are mobile, it is not available. Standard answer for spot-beamed service.
It is also worth noting that it is also not available to residential customers in about 1/2 of the land mass of the US - everything from the Mississippi to the Sierras. A slower version on the previous satellite (Spaceway 3) will eventually be available in that vast area, once enough people have left it for the new service so there is some bandwidth available.

The down side of residential is they use spot beaming and you can't travel
and set up. The up side is it had different technology and more bandwidth.,
Similar happenings on TV satellite for local stations. Spot beaming to serve
more customers eliminated CONUS coverage for locals.
Not an expert... just my opinion!!
It's all a trade off

The subject line was, indeed, off-topic and not relevant for this group ...
so I changed that. ;-)
A Don just pointed out, StarBand is another alternative.
Joe and I have been selling and servicing mobile satellite for about 10
years - first HughesNet/Direcway and later StarBand also.
We greatly prefer StarBand, for a few reasons:
1. You can get installer certified and then it's OK to move your dish. There
is no charge for this.
2. Tech support is in Marietta, GA ... NOT Pakistan. Although sometimes you
get either a new hire or someone who is too arrogant, it is far superior to
HughesNet Level 1 support, even at its worst.
3. Once the dish is set up and the cables connected, you only need to turn
on the modem.
4. We encounter far fewer "gotchas" in getting a system online.
Yes, there are the usual speed and other satellite-related issues, but for
those who absolutely have to be online every day or who hang out where there
are no cell towers, mobile satellite is still the best option out there.
Take care,
Barb

Barb has a point.
My StarBand setup works just fine; well I did get a "little" rain fade during Sandy and winter before last did have issues during heavy snows in Colorado when I had to sweep off the dish. Had to clean off my DishNet equipment too.
I am a newcomer by comparison to others, only 4 1/2 years. Have have the same IP all that time (which is handy when filtering myself out of weblogs) and have had only one well orchestrated satellite change.
Before everyone jumps ship, StarBand is to my knowledge only a manual system, which some may see as a drawback.

Say what you will about Sisyphus. He always has work.
