Hughesnet Satellite Internet is RIDICULOUS. A family member has installed Hughesnet instead of one of several other companies I suggested (against my best advice). I have used 10 gigs of a supposed 25 gig bandwidth limit in 15 days, and their online meter says I am "throttled" for so many hours and there is so many days until the roll-over. The last part was in the contract and admitted, the first was not. They advertise a 25 gig limit and throttle you (down to less than a dial-up phone modem) if you go over 10 gigs.
I see why several states have class action suits against them. I am hoping that a federal suit is in progress, as I will not be able to join (as it is not my connection - and WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN because I KNEW BETTER IN THE FIRST PLACE) but I will gladly testify or enter an affidavit.
