You will not be able to download large files as you do with your DSL or cable service. When you need service you will also be dealing with someone in India that may or may not be understood on the telephone. Like so many companies that have gone off shore for service and manufacturing, Hughes like some others does not care that much about their customers needs or wishes. I also live in Washington state were there is no DSL or cable and have been using their service for about 6 years now. I had two systems, one at my Washington home and one at my vacation home in the South were I spend about 5 months out of the year. I’ve now dumped both systems for lack of customer care and would personally like to give Mr. Kaul lessons on how his people should be treating their customers Don’t get too overly enthused about Hughes satellite internet.

With the monopolies these companies hold over areas though there isn’t too much you or anyone else can do besides go back to dial up and never view a website in under 1 hour again. :) Seriously though you can always look into one of the several <a href="http://www.ipinternational.net/products_sat.php" rel="nofollow">2 way satellite internet</a> providers. Though satellite doesn’t get much attention these days, at least as far as internet connectivity goes the service they offer is just as fast and often more reliable and properly priced when compared to a majority of cable companies. I’ve used a satellite connection at various points within the past few years and none of them ever gave me any hassle, price wise or reliability wise.
