I got the same pitch from them when I changed back to HughesNet several years ago, and for a couple of months I did notice a small improvement. But they kept loading more and more people onto the new service, and now it's horrible again. They said the same thing again a couple months ago when I called to complain. I told them I'd switch providers before I'd pay them more money for something they failed to deliver on last time. This is a long winded way of wishing you the best from your upgrade, but cautioning you that their history isn't the best when it comes to making good on the marketing claims.:irked:
Yeah, we haven't had the best luck with them either. Unfortunately, the only other option at this point is Viasat. They have faster speed, but are also more expensive. If the new equipment doesn't pan out well - and my expectations are low - we'll definitely have to give Viasat another look. I was hoping that some other providers would come along over the years, but that hasn't happened. It's disheartening that in this supposed "Age of Information", someone living just 4 miles outside of a town can't get decent internet service.
