We don't have any cable TV or phone service internet access at home. We tried Dishnet from Dish Network but the minuscule amount of data (10 gig) was used up in one iPhone update. We paid the early termination fee and got Skynet Internet Service, which is an antenna type with one of their towers only a mile away and not even a tree in between us. The problem with them is reliability. We are constantly having to use our phone data to access the web because Skynet shows it's there but all we get is the little "I'm busy icon" swirling away on the screen.
Now I'm looking into dropping them too. We've seen that HughesNet has their highest data plan at 50gig/month for $99 plus a one time $350 to buy or a $15/month lease fee for the equipment. I know that's a lot of cash for internet. But when there's no U-verse or Xfinity available, you start reaching. I have my 2 older in-laws living here and I stream DVR TV when I'm away from home, so data will need to be fairly reliable.
Have any of you on the Green Screen tried HughesNet? Any pros or cons besides the price. Right now I'm throwing good money after bad with Skynet Internet and I'm paying them $79/month.
