Chipwa: satillite is crap after being a victim of their BS which I had no choice until recently, I was able to obtain cable as I live in a rural area. Also wireless (cell phone service is very similar).
IF YOU WANT UNLIMITED!! BROADBAND THEIR ARE ONLY TWO (2) CHOICES AVAILABLE NOW DSL OR CABLE IN MOST AREAS OF THE COUNTRY.
I now pay 39.95 per month for cable internet for 3 MBS service.
(NO TV)
The following is a repost about Sat service.
I have Hughes net satellite service which has a FAP (fair access policy) is what they call it. But!!! After you have down loaded a certain number of MEGABYTES it cuts you off of high speed connection. (Funny, they do not put that in their ads)!!!!
I also researched in my area wireless phone services for internet plans. After you have exceeded their limit they hit you with premium charges. YES is out there BUT they will not give you unlimited high speed. They all have similar in the fine print.
highspeed broadband
part of my letter to Hughes Sat Network.
Hughes Network,
WHERE IN YOUR ADVERTISMENTS DO YOU MENTIION YOUR RESTRICTIONS ON HIGH SPEED SERVICE?
I have been a subscriber since the old “DirectPC” days and your service has only gone down hill since then.
I thought my computer was at fault for slow down load speeds until I found out about your policy of “FAP” Fair access policy which kills my down load to that of a dial up connection speed after YOUR preset limit on high speed.
I need to find my original agreement with DirectPC since you have taken over their service, as I feel I may be Grandfathered in WITHOUT THE “FAP”.
Oh, by the way I see you are adding 10,000 more subscribers per month. That’s great, but how many more satellites are you installing to carry the increased load? Your “FAP” is just your method of trying to spread your limited resources to as many customers as possible.
OH, BTW I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE FROM HUGHES NETWORK.
