But their service is limited by the amount of data you can use per month and there's a one second lag also so hughesnet isn't that good for gaming. I want to provide better unlimited internet service for rural areas and i'm trying to avoid 3G & 4G wireless from sprint att & verizon. I'm even open to providing wired/wireless internet to a small community or county. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I've had Hughesnet and you're right, it's horrible for gaming. eidolonFIRE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I've had Hughesnet and you're right, it's horrible for gaming. Yea, I had to re-read it a couple times too... Important parts though that make it clear: "I'm a dealer for (satellite based)HughesNet Internet services" "there's a one second lag also so hughesnet isn't that good for gaming" "I want to provide...internet" No idea why he would advertise internet that's bad for gaming ... to a gaming clan. little_old_man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge there really aren't any alternatives for people living in rural areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But for gaming it sux and when you pass your allowed amount of data for that month they slow you down to less then dialup speeds. I want to offer my customers another choice. Looks like the the only other choice is 3G, 4G and LTE wireless from sprint att & verizon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It will do away with the need for "cell" phones and we can have a computer or phone on the web anyplace. Until then I'm afraid people in rural areas will be stuck with dial up or Hughes unless somebody figures out how to greatly compress data to stream faster over phone lines. The cost for running fiber and cable to remote areas is cost prohibitive. The only way you could sell high speed to people in remote areas would be to have a single high speed location on a mountain top or a tall tower then do a site to site wireless bridge to users who are in the line of sight of the tower. Setting something like that up would be very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
