[Hidden-tech] HughesNet reviews

[Shel Horowitz]

Yikes! Y'all are getting me to appreciate Charter Spectrum cable. I pay
$60/month for low-end cable Internet AND land-line phone. Another ten bucks
would get me the basic TV package but I don't want it. Now, this is
grandfathered in on a special deal they did years ago, so YMMV.

Outages are common, but most times I can fix them by powering down and
restarting computer, modem, and router. I'd say we get maybe 3 to 5 a year
that are deeper than that.
