[Hidden-tech] Stay away from HughesNet!! Re: CONWAY high speed internet

[Kiernan G-S]

I agree. Avoid Hughes Net.  Stick to 3g  with Verizon/Sprint/ATT  if
you get a good signal where you are.

If you must go satellite go with Wild Blue -- their satellites  are a
bit newer and their prices/policies are better for the user.
Satellite internet in general is miserable compared to real broadband
though.

Good luck,
