For all of you Hughesnet customers... I hear your pain... Moved out to the country seven years ago, and said, Goodbye to dial-up, once we heard Direcway was coming out to the boonies. It was great for a few years, until Hughesnet took over. I know that you all know what I have complaints about, so I won't bore you with the explicit details. All I have to say is... I totally look forward to never having to see "Web Accelerator Client Error" or "This Page Cannot Be Displayed"... Most of all... I will never have to speak with, or should I say, try to interpret what some non-speaking English techie on the other end of the line who is acting like they care or really know what they're doing. Nor will I ever have to spend more money for some "truck roll" with still no results! Anyway, long story short. After much Googling, I have now resorted to Verizon Wireless Broadband. The USB720 modem has been a lifesaver! Definitely use the extension cord provided (thought that was silly, but it actually improved my reception) One downfall, viewing videos is tough. I've resorted to choosing short videos, because I can let them streamline (they'll freeze up the entire time) however, after the video has downloaded, I press play, and can view it with no problem. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SERVICE IF YOU'RE A HEAVY GAMER! Wanted to share input for those that felt hopeless like I use to be... P.S. Does anyone have any ideas what to do with that huge a* dish?
