A great serviceRay - Kentucky (Thursday, May 17, 2007) I purchased the HughesNet satellite system because we live in a rural area without cable or DSL. Compared to wired high-speed services, satellite internet is pricey and may not perform well with applications like internet telephony or very interactive on-line gaming. But if you live in the sticks and good old dial-up just doesn't cut it, then satellite internet may be your only choice. I opted for the 'Small Office' package which includes the .98 meter dish, 2 watt transmitter and HN7000S modem. The installation was prompt and professional and we were up and running without a single problem. Then came the test: Was it really delivering the speed that they advertise? For the first month I repeatedly ran various speed tests available through HughesNet and other sources. Surprisingly, the downlink consistently ran 1.2-1.5 Mbps and the uplink 250-300 Kbps. Satellite is a controlled bandwidth medium so I know these speeds will vary over time. But still, this is better-than-DSL performance! The system has proven to be solid and reliable even during heavy storms, which is impressive. It was easy to set up the HughesNet email accounts and to configure my email client. Overall, I am very pleased with this service. |

HughesNet Networking Mike Noles - Somerset, KY (Tuesday, May 08, 2007) My HughesNet dish was installed on April 17, 2007. The installer was a great guy and helped me get everything going. I was lucky to have someone with a brain for a change! Being connected with HughesNet Saves me so much time. I no longer need to wait to get connected. And downloading music only takes seconds, not hours like before. Setting up a Netgear wireless router was a nightmare, since both the HughesNet HN7000s modem and wireless router wanted to use the same IP. I later bought a 'Linksys' router which by default did not use the modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. The 'Linksys' was plug and play. Save yourself time by getting connected to the internet via HughesNet. And save yourself a headache by getting a Linksys wireless router. |

Hughes satellite service Daniel Alba - Murphys, Ca. (Tuesday, May 08, 2007) We have had the Hughes Small Office satellite service now for about 1 month and we love it! We had dial-up before this and Hughes is so much faster! We have four computers hooked up to it wirelessly, and they all work great! We do not get kicked off the internet anymore and all of our emails go through. I can not begin to tell you how wonderful it is to have reliable internet service. Thank you so much for making such a good product! |

Love It Nicole - Franklin, NC (Monday, April 23, 2007) In the mountains to rely on dialup is a defiant no, no. We did and after 6 times of being booted before we even logged in, was enough for us. Even Verizon couldn't guarantee we wouldn’t get booted. We went with Elite Satellite and even through storms we were not booted, so my comment to others is get out of the caveman era and get with the satellite era. |

DW7000 Pro Myles - Creswell, OR (Thursday, May 25, 2006) I got this to replace a 3000 system that kept failing when it rained. Reports on the 6000 uplink speed made me hold out but the 7000 has been reliable and fast enough to use for remote access, maintaining our web site, and keeping about 10 computers updated for our two person company. Installation was prompt and the installer seemed to know his business. |
