Has anyone signed up for HughesNet internet service? Any good or not?

I had them for a weekend years ago. It was horrible then. I had to sue them to get my money back after they tapped my account for $120 for bogus charges. I won easily.

I had it several years ago when it was the only option.  It was very limited in usefulness, at least back then.  You have severe limits on bandwidth and if one of our kids streamed something from Netflix we couldn't use it for a number of days.  Download speeds are OK but upload is terribly slow.  So if you have no other option then it will work OK for email and web browsing.  Not at all useful for streaming unless that has changed dramatically.  Also, it craps out every time there is a thunderstorm.  So if its your only option and you really need emails and web browsing it is expensive but will be better than nothing.  But if you want it for streaming or other high bandwidth service, unless the product has changed a lot in the last few years you are better off with a cell phone hotspot.

Received a couple of flyers in mailbox and was curious if it was of any value.

Thanks.

Look into Point Broadband... I have it and it has worked well. Unlimited data and several bandwidth speed options. I have had it for 4-5 months and been very pleased.
