It is desperate rural subscirbers. with no other choice. If the companies do not lay land lines to your area (why should they the goverment gave them billions in an infrastructure program whihc they smiled and laid 10 miles to supply 10 million but why bother laying 100 miles to supply 1 million when you were paid to do that also!) People who use satellite have no other choice. It is a real sham compared to the standard but it IS better than dialup (as long as you don't go over which is in place from them overselling their capacity to provide...no company turns down new money and they get slimy on cutting corners case in point) Also there is no other satellite option which doesn't fap you on a daily or monthly basis. What pisses me off is 1.5 miles away people are enjoying their nice normal internet. I almost want to try to fund the laying of the cable myself with these crappy choices. As for a suit, their practices are despicable but they seemed to have covered themselves with clever wording. (always having access as defined by 3 kbps and timeout if a few pixels need to load if you go over a limit which is well hidden info on policy) Not poor dumb subscribers making them rich.

Twice in a row they failed to send me a bill and then cut my service off in the middle of important work. To get my service reinstated, I had to send an electronic bankdraft for payment that cost me $29.99 out of my own pocket. Enough was enough. I told them to shove it. Some woman who could barely speak English called me and told me they were going to charge something like $900 for early termination. I laughed and said "Try it and I will sue you out of business." Then her tone quickly changed and she said she could settle for,,,what was it, about $450 or the price of the sat equipment. I had agreed to buy the equipment, so even though I may have been able to get out of it, I went ahead and settled at that price. That was about seven or eight months ago and now I suddenly got a phone call from a collection agency claiming that I owe Hughes $64. Something seriously needs to be done about these guys.
