Hughesnet is awesome! The service is fast, 25mbps download and 3mbps upload and it's reliable. Only time there are issues is during periods of heavy rain, much like satellite TV. They have basically unlimited data now too. You get XXGB of data depending on the package you buy, then once that is used up you can keep using it the rest of the month, but your service is slower. You also get 50GB of bonus data that you can use between midnight and 8am.
Thanks for the welcome :)
I'll have to let my brother know about it! He doesn't live off-grid, so much as live about 2000 feet up a hill the cable company doesn't feel like sending a cable up. I don't know what he uses now; some sort of satellite/phone line combo, I think. Whatever it is, it doesn't get that kind of throughput.
