PLEASE do not get hughes satellite omg it’s been a nightmare!! My two year contract finally ended in April, and because I haven’t renewed my contract while desperately searching for another option, they disabled my modem and told mr it would cost me $125 for a service man to come out and swap out my modem because I am no longer under their “warranty” and I’d have to sign another 2 year contract I said NO WAY I’m sure cavemen had better Internet service than i do, it’s expensive and if it rains, gets cloudy, windy or snows forget getting a connection and when you do get a connection don’t stay on line too long or watch utube, use a web cam, or a missed episode of your favorite show you will exceed your fair access policy and get kicked off the Internet for 24 hours!! That’s right grounded from Internet use!! So now all I have is my iPhone I don’t get why we can’t have real Internet I’d chew off my own foot for charter right now!!

Yeah that connection is too slow. A 3G internet connection can stomp on it all day long. They really need to upgrade their backbone in Metamora. BTW Charter has brought fiber down Oak St. which is really Metamora Rd. Not sure how long it will be before its available to consumers though. Counting the minutes to get HD TV and decent high speed internet.

@eliewriter - No satellite internet provider will come close to the speed and reliability you have now. Satellite will limit your overall use, and their advertised speeds are nothing compared to what you actually see. Keep Charter would be my recommendation. Anyone disagree?

I can get Charter Internet here in Elba Township but the price has gone up tremendously, so I’m looking for an alternative. Has anyone had any experience with HughesNet satellite Internet? I don’t want some fly-by-night to install a dish! I wish there were more alternatives for Internet; I couldn’t care less about having cable TV.

I ordered the slowest speed (512kbps down) from regions over a year ago, because they were the only company available in my area. The speed is the same, no matter what package you pay for. I have friends that have the faster speeds, and I download the same, consistently 1 meg. The service is spotty, slow, and overpriced. $50 per month for 1 meg? Crap. All they do is split charter lines amongst their customers and sit back and make $$$. I have a charter IP address so I know that. Bad customer service as well. I wish I had options.

I started with Fusion and went through the transition to Regions. Same old thing. Sometimes it’s blazing fast, but when you need it, it’s not there. I don’t think it’s their local network, but they have problems with their connections. If you want to work from home and need a VPN don’t even bother with this company, first thing they will do is charge you $20.00 extra for a static IP, it’s just too slow that way. Recently, the email went away, I don’t think that they renewed their contract with 1&1 email, sure screwed me up. As soon as my contract is up I’m outta’ there. Starband has come down in price, maybe I’ll try them.
