@mondiani @ESGhound @littlebluena Not for the US HughesNet/Viasat customers. The Ookla data says ~23Mbps for Hughes/Viasat. They crash to 1-3Mbps after the data cap. Target market is existing satellite internet and those below 25/3 speed.

@HotConductor @datarade @HughesNet I had a bean problem and it took them two months of me every day to have someone acknowledge there was a problem to begin with. I got lied to, takes down to, gas lighted.. The end result was them just wanting more money

@HotConductor @datarade @HughesNet To have 400gb of data on Hughesnet, you’ll be spending over $1000 a month. The worst part about Hughesnet isn’t the service itself, which is down right pitiful in 2022, but the customer service that is somehow even worse than the service itself. They lie and are fraudulent

@LMussatti @theispinfo @elonmusk https://t.co/XeHTJwG4Qz Hughesnet launched a low latency hybrid satellite option not sure where it's all avaliable yet, But you could call and see. The low latency part on applications would make it hand's down better than viasat.

@mrswilson486 @HughesNet I had an issue for two months and I snapped one day and started screaming and swearing. Suddenly I was taken seriously and behold. I was right, something was wrong on their end. I get a free token everyday till they fix it now. I get my own private number to call too.

After this he proceeded to tell me that 0mbs speeds are normal and that’s that. Example 5: I had a Hughesnet argue with me that my speeds in FAP are not under their service and therefore aren’t under their responsibility to fix it…

@telecompetitor It took me calling every day for two months for Hughesnet to admit there was a problem on their end.. and they said ‘sorry we don’t know when it will be fixed’. Lower latency means nothing when this company is operating like a scam https://t.co/kfIuzaGvJI

@thundertime88 @thebauminator @HughesNet @Light_Reading Thing is, no-cell coverage is way down on the list of Dish's problems, and their problem is smaller than T-Mobile's because connectivity drops off only after you can't get a signal from Dish, AT&T, or T-Mobile. There's way lower-hanging fruit :)

@iansltx @thebauminator @HughesNet @Light_Reading And do the low latency cellular in NA and stretch it to other countries if they can get good mvno agreements. Helps satellite capacity with using cellular 20-40percent of the time making satellite life span longer also bring cost down since need to launch rapidly goes down 2/2

@iansltx @thebauminator @HughesNet @Light_Reading So satellite dual hybrid with cellular comes in the satellites can push fast speeds even the future one coming in the next year. Having the smart system in play with hybrid will help dish keep mvno cost down and also keep dish wireless from being super overloaded in areas. 3/?
