Since it's a proven system, I might re-consider. Their satellite internet
(DirecPC) access is, I suppose, still trying to find a profitable marketing
scheme. I really hate being their Guinea pig though while paying them $20
a month.
In my opinion, Hughs Network System is the most impersonal and arrogant
service provider I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. The class
action suit against them for breach of contract and fasle advertising is
supposed to finalize next month in Maryland and I just hope I can get some
of my money back on the equipment.
