[Hidden-tech] HughesNet reviews

My parents (who live in Maine) used to have HughesNet. I'm on Verizon DSL. I
haven't done any tests to put actual numbers to this but my sense is that my
Verizon DSL service is faster than what they got via HughesNet. Satellite
Internet is also inherently more trouble-prone than DSL. After a snowstorm
they either had to wait for the snow to melt off their dish or climb up and
clean off the dish. Sometimes simply the stormy weather was enough to block
the signal. So, my sense is that HughesNet is not a way for you to get
faster service than Verizon DSL. But, local factors my play a role in the
quality of your particular DSL service. Certainly HughesNet did work for my
parents. But I don't know anyone who has chosen to use satellite Internet
when DSL was available.

G'day y'all :-)


Does anyone have anything positive to say about HughesNet satellite
internet?


Online reviews are almost universally terrible and you get the impression
that they'd be worse if users could give it less than 1 star!


BUT, we need faster access than Verizon DSL (to which I can't give much more
than 1 star) and Shutesbury won't have fibre for another 18 months or so.


So has anyone had a good experience with HughesNet?

I'm giving up on Adobe CS4 on my new travel development tablet , not wanting
to pay $600 annually for Adobe subscription to get it on the new box.
What IDE is best for PHP, similar to Dreamweaver, and has a good server sync
capability?
I've used Netbeans and liked its PHP debugging capabilities and considered
if overall 'pretty good', but don't really want to install Java on my
Windows 10, unless it's to get the best IDE.  I have not tried PHPStorm.
I've struggled through a few projects where I had to use Eclipse, and don't
want to do that again.
I'll do most real development with dual monitors, but need to do some travel
updates on the tablet.
Thanks for the help!
