magifesq Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I work for Hughesnet now - installing satellite internet, if you'd like to get in on the recovery internet you need to qualify by verifying you have no cable internet available (roadrunner, and the like), verizon, att or highspeed DSL, and then the gov't will help pay for the installation and equipment costs. Contact me and I can put you in contact with our staff to walk you through it. If you don't qualify for the gov't program, there's some rebates and such to take advantage of as well.Cheers peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I hated the F.A.P. and the speed kinda sucked anyway.Not to mention expensive as hell...I just now got a rudamentary dsl running through 3 smart coils. Way happier with this than I was with hughes. Edited April 30, 2011 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idodishez Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Used to sell and install HN, as well as the previous Direcway/DirecPC. It sucks compared to cable or dsl, or even WISP. but if dial up is your only other option it's night and day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magifesq Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I hated the F.A.P. and the speed kinda sucked anyway.Fair Access Policy = download limits, I understand where you're coming from. I have TWC and I've been on the phone with tech support diagnosing slow internet in the evenings - they have identified it as people mass downloading netflix, videos and such. 6p - 12 midnight I might as well just go to bed instead of using roadrunner. They're not planning on splitting the card until the end of summer. TWC fail. FAP is supposed to keep the bandwith available so this doesn't happen on their setup.

I beleive she ended up having to get a business account or something and it was something stupid like $200 a month and even then it wasn't any faster or much better.

madcat6183 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 So wait, the government will pay for my free internet porn at home? What am I doing wrong iwth my life, living paycheck to paycheck, when I could be on WIC, sit at home all day, and now get free internet and porn. My life is too hard, I just need to suck more at it and get in on all this free stuff my taxes are paying for every paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
