I have been reading posts on other forums today.  I find it interesting that anyone who openly criticizes Hughes is quickly flamed with threats to delete their posts.  I believe that Hughes themselves are behind some of these forums.  Again I do not believe that I am the only person on their network that consistently gets transfer rates comparable to dial-up.  Especially since support seems to be very familiar with the problem.

I have the same problem. Once you are signed up there is nothing that can be done, you are at the mercy of Hughes. I think we should find a law firm that will make this a class action suit.

Today’s speed is 193kbps down and 59kbps up.  Please note that is is kilo bits not bytes.  Also I have been officially dealing with support for 3 and 1/2 months, yes, months.  Their answer is always the same, “Sorry”.

Todays “blazing fast speeds”, downloading at 94Kbps, upload speed 116Kbps. Compared to a 56Kbps dial up at only 10 times the cost.

Despite their commercials what Hughes offers is hardly “broadband”, more like “slowband”. Take if from one who knows, you will not be happy. Hughes has oversold their bandwitdth to the point you would will be much better off with a dial-up connection.
