If you watch TV and actually see the commercials, you might have seen commercials for Hughesnet Satellite internet pop up every now and then. The main target is for people that live in rural areas, or fiber deadzones. Within the last few years, amazingly even in the middle of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County, I have had several clients be in a fiber deadzone, where the only option for high speed internet (aside from a 30 day wait for a T1) is either Microwave wireless (Skyriver, OSWI etc), or Satellite internet.
Recently a client of mine went forward with Hughesnet, against my employees strong recommendation to not. The commercial does a real slick play on words, dancing around the mysterious FAP (Fair Access Policy). Of course it is a commercial, and it's meant to sell consumers, but such a huge company should not falsely advertise and lure clients into long contracts with early termination penalties.
The real reason HughesNet really sucks the fat chubby is because of their FAP (Fair Access Policy in case you failed to remember). It's hard to even find any information on the HughesNet website, obviously hidden for devious reasons. Here's the skinny.
Your heavily restricted on your upload and download (DAILY) limit, once your pass this limit, which my client did within 30 minutes, your speed is reduced to dial up speeds. Yes I typed that correctly fucking dial up folks, that's just pathetic. "But Mr.David, my grandma doesn't download games and software, she just checks emails and goes shopping online". Yes yes I understand however keep in mind that if you sent grams a link to a 5 min Youtube video, and she watches it, that equates as "downloading", a 5 min youtube video in standard (.flv) format is about 4-9 megabytes. The video banners that automatically pop up all over the web, are also considered "downloading". Hell a .PNG signature card in an email is considered an "upload" and "download". We live in a world that caters and is shoving broadband widgets every corner of the web you turn (and it's not always a bad thing), and yet HughesNet does not adhere to this world. Below is an excerpt of their FAP:
The Fair Access Policy is straightforward. Based on an analysis of customer usage data, Hughes has established a download threshold for each of the HughesNet service plans that is well above the typical usage rates. Subscribers who exceed that threshold will experience reduced download speeds for approximately 24 hours.

My Aunt died. I have been trying to cancel her Hugesnet since May, at which time I got a case #…and a lot of crap about how do they know she died…After I sent them proof she died 9by email)…They have bill her credit card every month, for the last six months…I have contacted them and they say they have no proof she died…new case #…I forward a copy of the email I sent them in May, which showed proof she died…They are only going to give her one month refund, but will send a bill for $300.00 for equipment not returned. My advice is to not deal with this company for any reason…VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I am a HughesNet user. the 24 hour recovery doesnt even exist. as soon as my meter hit 0%, i shut off my computer. turned it on and its was worse than it was before. it took a whole hour to load my email. i hate HughesNet but i dont have any other internet choices where i live. even the even the people who set it up are assholes. the people at HughesNet said we are able to upgrade to Gen4 but the guy who was supposed to install it for us said that we couldnt get it. we actually sat there and listened to him and his boss argue about it over the phone. in the end, we didnt get Gen4. the only way this crappy HughesNet is useful is if you stay completely offline and never contact anyone via internet. never watch videos or look at pictures. never play games or view anything that is considered uploading or downloading. basically HughesNet is slowly banning everyone from using internet. thats my opinion anyway. they can all go eat a chub and die for all i care. dont judge me based on my commentVA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Okay there are five people in my family. Me and my brother are both college students and have to use the internet for just about everything. And I'm a bit of a social media nut. My other brother likes watching YouTube videos and playing his XBOX 360 online. The only thing my parents do on the internet is check their email and Facebook like every two months. HughsNet only gave us 10 GB of data a month. And it's costing us like $70. That's as much as we can afford at the moment and our data allowance runs out within the first two weeks. So we're left with dial up speed for the remaining two weeks and it is pure torture. And if we want to upgrade to 25GB of data a month, the price would double! It's plain outrageous. I highly suggest that you stay away from this service. Unless it's your only choice, pick something else that will actually benefit you. These past 22 months have been horrendous. As soon as October gets here (which is when our contract runs out) we are switching to something else. We aren't sure what yet, but anything is better than this.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Hughesnet, it sucks ass. I seriously wouldn't recomend hughesnet unless there's absolutely nothing out there besides dial-up. If you live alone…. go with dial-up, you can at least play some games with dial up (as I find dial-up had far better ping, and packet retention) than good ol' hughesnet.
Hughesnet is just F'n terrible. You can hardly use skype for calling, skype lags, not to mention the FAP which I heard has taken a turn for the worse with Gen 4.
I would try Excede, but I'm afraid it's more of the same, 24 month contract… iffy service (but at least they have an "unmonitored" persiod between like 12am-5am). Satellite is the worlds worst internet, if you can avoid it, don't get it.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

This is bullshit. I pray every day that cable is run where we can get access in my "rural" area which is barely a mile from the city limits.

Hughes Net is the worst internet service I have ever used, and the most expensive. We do live in the NC mountains, so our choices were limited, but I'm telling you, use anything before signing a contract with Hughes net, even carrier pidgeons. Dial up is faster than this horrible companies product. I've not seen a company so unconcerned with the mistreatment of good customers since AOL. Is there a legal way of getting out of a contract with this crooked company. They lied to us when they were signing us up. We asked about the FAP, and they said that most customers don't even notice when they are slowed down. What BS! Back in the day, I had dial up that cost $9 a month that was more reliable than Hughes Net, who we pay $50 a month, with another year on the contract. I can't wait to rip that ugly dish off my roof. I don't know who we will go to, but we will never use Hughes Net again.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Suck does not come close to describing Hughes Net satellite Internet. I demand mo to mo service and they said yes….NOPE now it is a 24 month contract. I was suppose to be able to buy extra download ….NOPE not available. Supposedly there is a Token buy to get extra download….NOPE doesn't work. Was suppose to be based on a daily download allotment and what you didn't use allocated to the next day …….ANOTHER NOPE it all of a sudden became a monthly amount that usually runs out 20 days into the month. Now all of a sudden I cannot play my favorite virtual game …..I think there are so many signed into the system that each user speed gets cut way back…….so I spend half my time rebooting the damn Modem only to have it stop working in a short period of time.
Went to tech service (which btw is in the Phillapines) and now my Desk Top will not even find the Modem. Says no service available to connect to .
Hughes should be NOPE.NET better yet DOPE.NET it is a complete farce or at the least a great scam that needs to be reviewed for its crappy internet by the FCC. What they are doing cannot be legal. Big bait and switch from the get go.
Guess that is the answer ………run …..go ……to another service ….. don't look back …..don't try to pass go……..what they are good at is taking your money and giving you a very inferior productVA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Be careful before signing up with Hughesnet. They clocked my bandwidth usage at 2.8 times my actual usage. When I called to complain, they first blamed my wireless router for eating 1/2 Gbit/day. Yes… 500M/day! Then we ran a test and the system was clocking usage even when no devices were connected to their modem. They offered a small amount of money back but they maybe charging everyone based on false usage reporting.
Do not sign up for this service unless you absolutely must and then get a usage meter on your line.
I will be alerting the PUC and better business bureaus to this practice.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I been with hughesnet for i dont know HOW long, less than a year i can say that much, and UP FRONT on a desk, they told me "We will supply you with a modem, router, dish, and high speed unlimited internet, for 70 dollars a month."….mmmm yeah you can tell where this is going. Now before i say anything else, i want to admit that the ONLY reason i'm with them is because i can't find any good internet service, they are either limited to high hell, dial-up, or are affiliated with AT&T or Cox. I REALLY WANT COX BACK! they were amazing, i mean listen to the stuff i did with them!
- Black Ops 2 Zombie Gaming on my ps3
- DotA 2 on my PC
- watch videos on youtube
- chat with friends on skype 24/7 in calls
- go on netflix with my ps3
and this was what my uncle did
- go on netflix with his pc
- go on amazon
- listen to elvis on youtube
- write short stories
AND ALL THIS WOULD BE DONE IN A SINGLE DAY, SOME DONE AT THE SAME TIME AS WITH OTHERS! the only reason we left them was because they kept promising "you get internet, phone, and cable bundled together for 75 dollars a month" which we thought was a miracle! but nope they kept shooting us up a lot until we got to 300 dollars. so we said screw it and we still owe them, which i HOPE if i can get a job i can pay them off and me and my uncle can go back to them and they can just give us internet only, maybe if they would be nice and tell us the price of cable and internet only bundle because my uncle is getting the phone for so cheap since he is on disability. BUT ANYWAYS!
HughesNet made false promises and gave a false advertisement to "lure" (for the lack of a better word) people in. Infact the guy who installed all this stuff didnt even give me a router, only a modem, and he said, and i repeat word for word, "Okay, since i'm here, I can tell you this. Take this back, don't get hughesnet, go BACK with whatever you previously were with and get RID of hughesnet because they are making me sign you a contract saying basically that if you are with them for over a month, you have to pay to cancel and it is A LOT of money. Please take this back." and me and my uncle replied that we would if we could but we are in DIRE need of internet because that is how me and him are getting a lot of our stuff done, and it's a way for my uncle to get back into making his novels and stories again so he may be able to get back into re writing Outer Darkness again and getting money off of it.
In short? hughestnet made my brothers kid cry at how slow it was and how he couldn't watch his favorite "Thomas the Tank Engine" on youtube.

Okay so I've been using Hughs Net for a total of seven months now, and everything that Mr. David says, is correct. Unfortunately I was sold a bill of goods by a third-party contractor, and I'm stuck with this system for the next 17 months. After speaking with three different technical support people in India, they connected me with Mark in Brownsville, Texas at the "Account Management Team". The reason they connected me with Mark was because they were going to be unable to correct my problem. They said that Mark would be able to do something with my contract to mitigate the circumstances. After explaining to Mark that I had already in Duard seven months of really, really bad service, He offered no help whatsoever, and could not modify my contract. He said it was against the company's policy. Hughs Net policy. What he did offer me was an upgraded service if I was willing to enter into a new 24 month contract. I asked what would happen if the new upgrade did not solve my problem. He simply told me I'd be stuck with the new contract. I asked him if he didn't think that was a little unethical, but he said it's just company policy. I said well, that's not a law, it's a policy. Someone can modify that policy. He simply replied, "No sir no one can help you." When I asked him if he thought that was just a little but ethical, he said, "it's our policy." No shit? Mark at Hughes Net in Brownsville,Texas was as useless as the company for which he works – fitting. I live in an area in Montana that has no offerings of cable, So my options are very limited. I think I'm going to call Verizon Wireless and ask them about building a cell tower on my property. I'd rather deal with Verizon Wireless in a day then deal with Hughs Net. Hughs Net sucks, in short. Just about any other Internet provider is better. Dial-up is not worse.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I have Hughes Net through Dish Satellite…(Dish bought out Hughes net about a year 1/2 ago according to what the Dish techs have said) I told these people that I am disabled and spend a HUGE amount of time online. I was TOLD that I could get 30 GB a month…for $80.00…and that would do me just fine. I would have NO PROBLEMS with having enough internet usage. WRONG! What they fail to tell you is that you will ONLY have 15 GB during the day and 15 GB during "down time"….2 am til 11 am. And those 15 daytime GB's ….., it's not as much as what you might think….if you watch a few movies…better make sure they are not HD….you MIGHT get to watch 3 – 4…maybe 5 AT BEST….over a 30 day period. And THAT doesn't include emails, web searches, youtube vids, and absolutely NO gaming! LAG is off the charts. HANDS DOWN IT"S THE WORST INTERNET "SERVICE" I'VE EVER HAD!!!! At least with dial-up you KNOW what you're getting. I live in the country but I'm seriously thinking of moving just because of this. My luck, they would then put cable out here!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

The only reason I can give for going w/ Hughesnet, or Wildblue Satellite is b/c there are no other internet server options where you/I live. So we are stuck w/ it. Then I can't even load the service pack to make it possible for me to download vids to my computer. I want to do this so that I can play vids w/o using bandwidth. Now I can't even download and open this pack b/c I get the error msg that says that Hughesnet Download Manager is not found on my computer! Any suggestions for a stuck, trapped, 80 bucks a mo poorer, sad, Hughesnet user? Their tech support was no help. They only read off the internet which I could do! Grrrrr. Soon we will have high speed when our library is done. Praying and believing in Podunksville.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I have been a hughesnet customer for about 7 years. I liked it for a while up until a year ago when things started getting out of hand. I work online… and I expected hughesnet to be very kind with me… but no. First off their customer support cannot speak at all. They say things I barley understand at all when I agree with something that I "THINK" they said it turns out to be something VERY different then what I wanted to agree with. So there is one part of the scam is the indian customer support.
I work on an IMVU website and before GEN4 came out I couldn't log on unless I had the turbo page off. The turbo page is needed to boost up the internet speed. Since I started HAVING to do this it seems to suck up MORE bandwidth then I use. I have 1GB of bandwidth but only get 4 hundred and some to refill per day. So I've asked them from time to time to time to fix this problem and over the dozens of times I asked them they still refused to help me and be the "Loyal" customer support they said they'll be. So now I'm using 1GB of bandwidth or so a day… just doing what I normally do that use to only use 200MB a day.
Now what REALLY pisses me off to high hell is this damn GEN4?! I HAVE TO PAY TO F***ING UPGRADE THE DAMN SATELLITE WHEN IT'S THEIR FAULT THEIR SERVICE IS SH*T?!
So the service is crap and they admit it's crap and they tell me I have to pay an extra 99 to get this crap upgraded to GEN4 and the way GEN4 looks is MORE to be a scam then the original plan I have! It f****ing costs LESS for me in gas to go to the damn coffee shop every day just to do my work which has FREE wi-fi and like seriously 1MBPS download speed and unlimited download speed then it is to f***ing pay for this damn useless service! I'm PAYING FOR AIR HERE PEOPLE! These people piss ne off and I'm done with them they are useless pathetic bastards that do nothing but rip you off every corner you turn.
I refuse to pay for the new GEN4 upgrade and have a new 4 year contract because this f**cked up satellite THEY need to fix for me for FREE not me paying for their goddamn mistakes! THESE PEOPLE SUCK TO HIGH HELL!!!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Hughes.Net is one of the worst Internets I have ever used besides dial-up…
* 400 MB Limit per day
* Up to 15 seconds to load even the most simplest sites
* Lag on online multiplayer games (3 second lag, or even worse)
Why would you EVER want to pay 80 bucks for a damn limit? Comcast is unlimited, starts 20 bucks for 6 months then bumps up to 50-60, but that is still reasonable. -sigh- then Hughes.net has the nerve to post commercials about "you can do this, you can do that" when EVERY OTHER INTERNET PROVIDES THE SAME DAMN THING. Sadly I have to deal with this internet because of my current location (thank GOD I am moving soon). I can honestly rate this internet service a "Barely better than dialup".

They also give you a handy little usage meter at the bottom of your desktop which lies to you about how much data you have left for your monthly allowance. If you go by what this says you will quickly exceed your monthly limit and be forced to buy more data. If you don't trust it, you have to go all the way onto their site and login ,which takes fucking forever thanks to their shitty internet (I'm fairly convinced it takes a significant amount of data as well as part of some sick catch 22). Once on your account, they will provide you with the correct information regarding your monthly data limit, which will be much lower than what you are shown on your toolbar (this is called fraud, by the way), however, if you want to look at exactly when you're using the data to help regulate your usage, then you must use the convenient calender/ hourly graph they give you. This will, if you have the same problems as me, not show anything at all for any date. It also probably consumes data fiercely whenever you load a day to analyze it. Can't watch videos, can't play games, can't go on any website because they all have a shitload of ads which all consume your data. Basically can't do shit ever.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Hughes net is awful! I lived on a mountain with hug(e)hes (piece of crap) net as my only option, it's terrible. I tested my speed on 3 different nights and clocked in at 0.07mpbs, 0.05 mbps and 0.08 mbps (yes I did mean to put the extra zeros in those numbers!). It was so slow ALL THE TIME and I dreaded having to look up anything. I never watched videos or played games, I set my homepage to google to use less of my download limit and it was still painfully slower than dial up. We just moved and finally ordered REAL internet and now I've got consistent speeds of 15-17 mbps, no it's not the fastest internet to some people but this it's heaven for me coming from hug(e)hes (piece of crap) net!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

We've been dealing with HughesNet for quite a while now and it's just awful. We don't have many options where we're living right now. It was this crap or dialup…so I thought it would be better since it was so much more expensive…boy was I wrong… We have two desktop computers here and two laptops, all with Windows. We left on auto updates in the past so we wouldn't have to worry about checking for updates all that often, maybe a few times a month for the optional things. Since we've been using HughesNet, we've turned off auto updates and only update them if one of us happens to be up between 2 and 7am so we don't cut into our daily limit. It's the same for the xbox 360 as well. If there's an update to the device or a game, we usually only do them after 2am unless it's very small. As far as internet browsing in concerned, we have two people that are online college students, so you can imagine how much gets used up daily just from having to be online for classes and uploading/downloading work. Forget trying to do anything on YouTube or opening any video through a site…taking 20 minutes or more just to open a three minute video is crazy…sometimes two or three times longer if the limit has been reached. Trying to use social networking sites is a chore as well, especially with all the different pictures people post, adds that pop up constantly, and just trying to chat with people. I went through HughesNet and did a test to see what my download and upload speeds were, which looked alright there; 450kbs download and 230kbs upload. I knew that was crap of course, so I used speedtest.net to check and see if there would be a big difference in the numbers. The difference was quite interesting… It went from 450 download speed all the way down to 18 kbs…WTF! I can get a faster connection than this using dialup! The upload speed went from 230 down to 10kbs… I used another site and got nearly identical numbers…I can't remember what that one was though. I know speedtest works, I've used it in the past with T1, dialup, and cable connections. Why such a huge difference? I don't get it…unless what they're giving me number wise is what I should be getting instead of what I'm really getting… Oh, and if anyone does any online gaming (including fb apps…like the popular farmville things and such), just forget it. I've tried using fb apps as well and it usually takes them 5 to 8 minutes or so just to load…then a few more minutes to recognize when you've clicked on something… Thankfully, the area I'm living in is getting cable connections in a few months, so myself and the roomies won't have to deal with them for much longer. I'll have to deal with the early termination fee…which is really high for such a crappy service. I suppose that's why it's so high though, otherwise they'd go out of business. I'm in the process of writing the BBB about them and have contacted the state rep as well. I'm hoping I can at least get out of the termination fee this way.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

This is GODAWFUL shit. Can't do anything, if you are a gamer, avoid this, if you are a video watcher, avoid this, if you are a internet user, STILL avoid this. I try to connect to xbox live, takes me 5 minutes to connect, then get disconnected in 8-10 minutes. If you watch 3 average videos (2-6 min) you have stepped over your limit and you are stuck at even worse dial-up speeds. Not even joking, its about 3-5 kbps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 times slower than the worse dial-up! The modem will lock up on you at the unlimited time 3-4 days a week, making you pay the outrageous price of $5 to refill half of your download allowance. Thank god in 2 fucking days I can tell hughesnet to take a flying leap and get their shit off the roof before I get to it with a 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun and create some trash, because that is what their service is. I am so happy that we now longer will use this. I can't wait to tell them NO to their service and go with DSL. REMEMBER: STAY AWAY FROM ANY SATELLITE INTERNET PROVIDER, THEY ALL USE THE SAME THING, EMPTY PROMISES AND WILL MAKE YOU BEND OVER AND TAKE IT UP IN THE ASS!!!

HughesNet is a piece of crap, and their Gen4 service is worse than their previous incarnation. They give you half truths about their new service and then you find you have to upgrade to keep from going over your down-load threshold. Don't believe anything they tell you.
Also, their customer service is anything but customer service. It's a bunch of indians in a sweaty call center reading off scripts.
Avoid HughesNet like the plague. I'm stuck with them for another 2-years and wish I never went with their new service. It sure as hell is not an "upgrade".VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Avoid Hughesnet at all costs. I live in the middle of nowhere so I have no other option. I like to let my PS3 download demos during the "FAPfree" time (you know, because I can't actually play my PS3). This would work except, their horrible modem always locks up for a few hours. Therefore, when I wake up, I see my downloads have resumed to consume all of my high speed time. A few days in a row of that and checking e-mail becomes impossible because the speed is so slow, it can no longer load a typical web page without timing out.
NO ONE SHOULD GET HUGHESNET!!. I can not get dial-up internet due to the line quality being too low and the phone company not caring enough about one customer to fix it. Otherwise, I would go back to dial-up so I could get better speeds.
I beg anyone who has the option to cancel their service. I want them to fade away so another company will have to provide access. One thing is for sure, whoever replaces them can not be worse.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I had dial-up @40K. Verizon bought out local Mountain Tel. Service then was always out. Two miles down the road it was still 40k but my speed would drop as low as 300 Baud then disconnect. Junction box two miles down the road was discontinued in 1908, I kid you not and Verizon has a standing order not to upgrade. Fired one worker who tried on his own time. We were suppose to have Cable 8 years ago but Media Com keeps getting grants to study one problem after another. They get $1.5 million to study the problem each year because they applied to be the right-of-way operator. So WIld Blue offers us a Sat. Deal. Nothing is mentioned about data limits and I get no paperwork. Hughes shows up, subcontacting for Wild Blue, installs the dish where I tell him not to because the flimsy eve was coming out for a covered porch. He say it is temporary and he will be back to move it 2 ft. up. Two years nearly and it is still in the way. Now I have heard if you trip into the FAP your download speed goes to 128K. I only wish. Under the best of circumstances I get a two second 300K burst then I am running as low as 23K. My upload is 26K, actually faster. No amount of calls and complaints help. Everything tests at 100%. I spent hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars on software and hardware upgrades to no avail. Then I find out that Hughes does this. If you are in an area where there is choice, you cruise at 400-600K in my area where dial-up is $10/mo I cruise at 19,200 or about 36K on the best of the days with 100% FAP allotment in the bank. So last evening a girl in Manila told me Hughes never guarantees any download rate. I noticed my speds dropped about the time Hughes started advertising 12MPS (still no gaurantee.) Meanwhile the new fiber back bone paid by tax dollars is going 96 miles into an Indian Reservation (Less than 400 people) but Rep. Kevin McCarthy took a $20,000 bribe from Media Com to kill the 52 mile extension into a community of about 30,000 so Media Com and Verizon will not have to repeat. Hughes is practicing the worst form of bait and switch. It promises a decent product for a fair price and then choose to make the product inferior to promote something more costly. Hughes, WIld Blue, Verizon and Media Com need to be on a Senate Hotseat. We pay far more and get far less than 3rd. world service and we footed the R&D bills.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I just finished with Hughsnet and am so glad to be rid of them! Their advertised speeds are NOT what you actually get, thought their customer service folks will tell you they are.

yes hughes net fucking sucks ass not only the token deal which they dont even tell you about till you sign up for the service but it doesnt run full speed all the time especially when everyone is on the internet! I used to have hughes when it first came out paid $400 for the equipment and there was no token deal then! I think it is a rip off for sure you could almost call it a scam for people that have to have sat. internet like me! Now in order to upgrade to the new sat. if your an existing subscriber they want you to pay $200 and get a $50 mail in rebate with that sat. you get 10gb regular service and 10gb between 1and 8am WTF i wish i could have cable but sorry ass comcast wont run it the rest of the way to my house its right down the street about 1/4 mile ive tried like 5 times they wont even call me back! so fuck hughes fuck comcast im stuck whatever sometimes id think its better to have dial up as slow as this shit is at times oh and for the fuck heads that think it might be my computer its not dickfaces my shit is fast have a fucking nice damn day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Barbara, yes Excede is much better. After 7.5 years of Hughesnet as my only option – and I run a high tech advertising business up in the mountains of VT requiring the ability to send tv spots in HD to stations all the time – Excede came into being. We've been on Excede now for 8 months. I am so happy, and here's why. First of all, the pricing is better, because you are charged by how much data you use in a month's time (not daily). So, if you are a heavy user on weekends, you don't get slammed for a big day – it talllies by the month, which gives you way more flexibilty. I started with the middle rate at 15GB/month which cost about the same as Hughes "pro" at $90/month. We bump up against that every month, so I'm upgrading to the 25GB plan. But for regular folks, 7.5 GB/month for $50 is adequate. It is screaming fast compared to Hughesnet – download is 12MB/second on the better plan, and upload, well there's no comparison. Hughes upload speed is not better than dial up whether you trip the FAP or not. IT SUCKS! W/Wildblue, you still get "free" data time after midnight for upgrading software, etc. If you use too much, first of all you get email notifications when you've hit 75% and !00% of your data allotment, so you can control it. Their usage meter is accurate and easy, and if you need more data, it's very simple to add. You can then purchase more GB from 1-9GB for $9.99 each if you need it. Hughes makes you spend $10 just to get turned back on and if you use more than your 400MB the next day, you have to spend another $10 and so on. That's ridiculous!!! Finally, the customer service at Wildblue is awesome by comparison. They are English speaking, smart and nice. They listen and address your issues specifically instead of making you go through rebooting your modem & router 100 times and never solving the problem (that is Hughes total CS policy). And no, I'm not a Wildblue rep or in any way affiliated with any satellite service. I'm just a person who lived in the Hughesnet hell for many years. I'm so grateful that we finally have another option. It will be another millennium before we ever see DSL, cable, FO or anything else where I live.

That's it nothing else and it still works like ass, my Internet barely works anymore and the fap light on the website is green, I know the difference between high speed and Hughesnet, I'm not expecting much from shitty satellite Internet but c'mon, they said the time it takes to download a song on dial up you could've downloaded a whole album by then with Hughesnet. What the fuck?! I've thrown numerouse objects at my tv every time that fuck damn annoying commercial comes on saying 'o freaking Hughesnet kicks ass and it's highspeed' if the owner of Hughesnet is reading this then fuck you!

its faster than dial-up yes but not by much, and they say you can download as much as you want from 2am to 7am but the download allowance resets slowly the next day if at all. i have nothing against Indian people but they don't even know what time zone i'm in. the customer service is lacking majorly. the signal goes out far more often than my satellite TV. the modems are quirky as hell. when you want to upgrade or downgrade your service you have to wait an hour or more without service and then you have to re-register the modem. i have no problem doing that but for someone that is not technically inclined it would be close to impossible. also i paid for my equipment but i was still forced to lock into a 2 year contract for the installation or else pay for it. if you live in the country without cable or DSL available, i would go with Hughes net again though or wild blue. although i'm moving to the city soon and i'm going to drop Hughes net faster than the u.s. dropped bush.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I originally got the satellite setup when it was direcway in 2002 and it was great. Then it was sold to hughesnet. Since then it totally sucks ass. I live in the hills of WV and nothing else is available except dialup. A lot of you mention cellphones. Also not available here. Hughes is better (barely) than dial up which is my ONLY other option. They recently added 50mb to the download limit and are in the process of letting your unused bandwith roll over (but only up to one day) so still sucks. Had to cancel netflix because I could only use it between 2 am and 7am. Totally agree with all of you who hate hughesnet but see no choice other than moving.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I'm glad to see others feelt he same way I do. Hughesnet is a bad company. When I called to sign up not understanding anything about the internet. They asked me what I will be using it mostly for. I told them my kids will be using it for Youtube, F/B, Games, and movies. They did not tell me I wouldn't be able to use those things w/out draining the threshold. Like I even knew what that meant. You can bet your ass I found out quick what all that crap about FAP and thresholds meant. FU HUGHESNET. My kids can't even watch Youtube, which defeated the whold purpose of why I got the internet in the first place.

I wish I had stumbled upon this before getting tangled up with hughes net but I was not inclined to do any research because I had heard all the big companies use Hughesnet even the goverment so how bad could it be? I have to say the most annoying thing about hughesnet is the non-english speaking phone reps that are a bit pushy and rude. and the failure to mention the FAP. after calling to complain about the speed they said I would need to upgrade my plan. I did but still was having problems called again only to be told I would have to upgrade yet again and then they finally mention the FAP. very frustrating since the only reason I even wanted internet was so I could video chat with my children that over 2,000 miles away. we will be terminating our service which I suspect will be a huge rude pain in the butt, I shall let you know how that all ends. my advice, DO NOT go with hughesnetVA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Almost two years ago, I filed a blistering report with the BBB on Hughesnet, complete with a laundry list of complaints that ranged from the FAP to their useless foreign tech support employees. I magically received an email and phone call from Corporate in Missouri! After I presented the facts along with my frustration, I was OUT of the contract for $100 (normal termination fee is $400!), which included my last month's service.

I live in rural upstate New York. There isn't any cell phone servie, there isn't any fast telephone lines, and there isn't any cable out here. For years, I had nothing put dial up. Then I invested into buying equiment for Wildblue. I CAN NOT stand Wildblue. Their Customer Care is terrible and so is their internet connections. The speeds for Wildblue always slowed to to a crawl in the early evenings. Then about a year ago, I switch to Hughesnet. Sure I'd rather have cable, but Hughesnet is so much better then Wildblue.

To say Hughes net sucks is a gross understatement. We moved to rural Texas from Indiana, where we had DSL service from a rural telephone coop. In almost 10 years never had a bit of trouble.
I have a fairly weak 3G signal for my smart phone and still get better internet service with them. 4 hours to watch a 10 minute YouTube video. That is simply ridiculous. I thought the Feds were suppose to protect the public from scams and Hughes net is definitely a scam.
They say they provide you with broadband. Overall I'd say the broadband is of a service level I would have expected back in 1995, not 2011!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

My complaint is not with the few MB per day or even the FAP I agreed to.
Service worked well until recent months. Now, almost every day, like clockwork; from round 7pm to 10pm the connection slows to often sub-dail up speeds. I can't take this anymore. Today I spent around $400 on cellular broadband equipment that I hope will give me enough signal for at least 1mbps. There is a trail period, so if it doesn't work, all I will pay for is return shipping.
Hughes has FAR oversold its subscription base and can not handle the bandwidth load during peak hours. Calling tec support is a joke, they will only talk about the damn blinking modem lights.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I had hughesnet for two years, because it was my last and only option. The usage cap sucked and pings were outrageously high. I couldn't game, netflix, or download anything during "normal" hours. Had to set up a DL manager for overnight hours. So in today's world it is woefully under-powered. Don't even get me started on the price you have to pay. I was at the top residential level to get 425MB a day.
My family of 5 never went over doing their minimal use of online flash games, e-mail, the occasional you tube adventure, etc. I on the other hand pushed us over on several occasions. I had to constantly watch what I was doing and when. I work second shift and could get on after I got home and take advantage of the no download limit time of the early morning. Which helped, but how many people want to be up at two and three in the morning??
However, even with all that said, anyone that says it's like dial up hasn't had dial up in a long,long time. Hughesnet made the net usable again for me. I could barely do e-mail with dial up and with ever more info being pushed on web sites I could barely surf. Now I could access the news, stay up to date on my podcasts(with cautious downloading), and do shopping on line. I could load pictures (such as interfacelift.com) in a couple of seconds instead of two minutes.
So do I recommend it? Only as a last resort. Will I berate it for it's shortcomings? Absolutely. I won't however tell someone that has dial up that it will be the same experience. As a point of fact, during the times I could download larger files, I would get 100KB download speeds. Thus the problem. You can DL your daily limit in half an hour if you were at the 200MB level or in just over an hour at the 425MB level. So is it fast enough to make the net usable? Yes. Does it provide a high enough usage cap to "use" the internet? No.
One other problem is if you get throttled it isn't even dial up speed. It's unusable, you either need to use a token to reset your daily limit (one free one a month or 10 bucks to buy one or like 18 bucks for three)or quit using the internet until you are reset.
There is software available from hughesnet to monitor your usage and reset your daily allowance. If you do your due diligence you can make it work.
All in all I had a love/hate relationship with them. Loved being able to get on the internet, hated all the restrictions I had to keep an eye on to use it.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I agree that when it is working, it works good but as you say the cap is way to look. Been off the internet most of the day. Started downloading a video file of a tutorial on working with kydex. 10mb in 1 hour! Last week it took 4 hours to get a 20 minute YouTube video. That is completely ridiculous.

My neighbor three miles down the road runs never slower than 40K and usually around 46K at $9.99/mo and has unlimited up&downloads. His dial-up is faster than my Hughes Net after the two second burst. He has downloaded all sorts of movies and Videos I can only dreamof with Hughes Net. I also downloaded the Hughes Net Downloader that is supposed to take advantage of there unlimited download hours. Guess what, they say it is preprogrammed to start at 2am. It started at 11pm instead. I would have had to use my tokens because the one and only time I was restricted, my browser would not operate that slow. I was 7 minutes from the end of an old TV program when my system locked up. As it was every 6 seconds was followed by a 2 second pause.

The government is trying to get better broadband coverage. Here is a website to determine if you have any choices. http://broadbandmap.gov/ It is how I found the wireless service I gratefully got to replace hughesnet with. If I had canceled on Monday, no problem, since I canceled on Tuesday, cost me for a month of service. They told me that I should just consider their service a back up for a month. I needed a backup for their crap. In the afternoon the temperature drops and I lose service for a couple of hours, even on cloudless blue skied days.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

For anybody saying Hughesnet is the best, your one of the lucky ones. Hughesnet isn't broadband, it's dial up that goes to space and back. The speeds are horrible even with 100% on the download meter, let alone when you FAP. Their commercials say they have internet at least 20x dial up speed. Yeah, 0.20x dial up. They tell you nothing of the FAP or slow speeds. The only thing they aren't lying about is the "available almost anywhere" thing. And at the end of the commercial, they have the audacity to tell us, "Your Welcome." They have a lot of problems , and a lot of innocent, unknowing people's money to fix them with. But, they would rather keep all that money, and just keep stealing from all of us.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

This is the worst company. During the summer when the temperature cools down in the afternoon, you lose service. You call them and they tell you that the modem is no good and the warranty just ended and it will be a $125 service charge. Couple of hours later the service will come back. You cannot use any interactive games.
I finally got a different internet. If it had happened on Monday I would be fine, but since it was day one of a new billing cycle, it cost me $79.99 for a month of service that I don't need nor want. The new wireless service is at least 10 times faster response time. When I try to call their customer service agent, they tell me, "well you can use the 30 days as a backup service" After the sporadic service I get from them, I needed a dial-up service as a back up for them.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I was shocked to find out there was a termination fee after we signed up for service! They should be required to tell you that. If you want to watch movies or youtube than you don't want to pay $60 a month for Hughes net cause all it's good for is checking your email. My kids had to schedule all of their music down loads for over night and program updates or we would run out of service. Now I have canceled service and can't get them to terminate me! It was to be cut off on the 15th of Feb and I am still being billed. They tried to use my credit card which I used to sign up with for billing which they are not authorized to use and would have screwed up my bank account!

Well I use to have Wildblue which is like hughesnet but they restrict the bandwidth usage for per month so in my knowledge of hughes net they are better than Wild Blue.Since I use to go over the FAP on Wild blue I would have to wait a whole month to have my fap reset or pay a huge fee for a token.Hughes net has a token for free unlike Wild Blue from my experience.Plus had more problems with Wild Blue then hughes net. hughes net when I have a problem fix it at a cheaper price instead of paying $100.00 they have an insurance you can buy for 6 dollars which reduces your cost to 30. So go ahead and and say hughes net sucks. I say WILD BLUE sucks worst.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

We can't get DSL here we are and cable only comes to the first house on our road, less than a 1/2 mile from our house. We are left with Hughesnet as our "high-speed" internet provider and they are horrible. I guess when you have no competitors you can treat your customers badly. It would be nice to be able to speak with someone from Hughesnet that can speak english. I wonder how much a 1/2 mile of cable would cost me to install. I think it would be worth it.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Hughes net is slower than the second coming of Christ! I think they rob bandwidth from those who don't complain and give it to those that do.
I talked to a customer service guy yesterday and explained that after watching two maybe three youtube vids (short songs) that my system becomes severely slow. He just said, "some files are bigger than others." WTF?
Ive been putting off updates unless I want to be without a computer for 24 hrs.
Has anyone gotten any satisfaction out of Hughes Net?

I live on a farm and have had HughesNet for not quite 3 months and it is so bad, I'm paying these scoundrels off to the tune of $355 to sever my contract with them. My speeds have dropped to as low as 15 KBPS and I am paying them (with tax included) nearly $100 per month for speeds slower than dial up… no joke, here is a speed test image on my Flickr account… http://www.flickr.com/photos/southwestusa/5378083342/
I now know why HughesNet sticks it to people who live in the STICKS.
I'm checking into a radio ISP but will have to build a 24 foot tower to install my next ISP's equipment on. I'll be taking the new HighesNet dish down soon and will stick it on a pole up on the front of my property with a sign reading HughesNet is a HEADACHE and BOTTOM DWELLER.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I have three words for you-Better Business Bureau! We became absolutely disgusted with their excruciatingly slow service after burning through the FAP-allocated usage, which didn't take much. Don't even bother with iTunes! Needless to say, their typical ESL (English as a Second Language) customer service is abysmal as well. The ONLY thing that helped was filing a complaint with the BBB that clearly outlined my complaints in detail. All of a sudden I heard from somebody in Missouri-somebody who could actually accomplish something. I reiterated my complaints, and we agreed upon a $100 termination. Yep, I had to mail their junk back, but at least they sent me FedEx labels, and we sent it all away. We are fortunate a new little start up local internet company came to our area. It's like wifi on steroids-we have a little radio on a 50′ tower pointed at their tower connected to a T1 line. Doesn't sound like much, but it's like lightning. Many rural areas are beginning to see companies pop up, so keep an eye out for them.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

The free download period is from 2am – 7am, EST, not that this is all that great. The fact that Hughes goes out of their way to not even mention the FAP should be grounds for a class action suit for intentional misrepresentation. Claiming that this is to give users who download less the same fair access as high download users is total crap. If someone only accesses the internet to check email and Facebook, then they are not consuming very much bandwidth. Doesn't it stand to reason then that it leaves more bandwidth available for higher download users, such as video/music/gaming enthusiasts? And for that matter, how come the land-based ISP's don't have such limits?! (And I really hated a few weeks ago when I heard someone on the radio suggesting that the other ISP's are thinking of imposing such limits!) And speaking of online gaming, don't even bother with Hughes. They even suggested against it when I was speaking with them on the phone, but since I'm in one of those rural dead spots, I'm stuck with them. And I spent four months trying to find something, anything, else. The data transfer rates are so inconsistent, one minute you may hit 100K, the next you're down to less than 1K. I'd love to cancel, but they lock you into a 2 year contract and charge $400 for early termination, despite the fact that they aren't living up to their end of the agreement. Virtually every review in which someone has tried to cancel early has been a nightmare. As soon as the contract is over, I'm done with them, whether I have internet service here or not. I'll find some other way, even if I have to use my cellphone.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Yes, I was screwed by HughesNet also. I was on their 30 day FREE TRIAL SPECIAL. Kept it for just a few days before canceling. Well the FREE TRIAL screwed me out of $200 plus the cost of returning their crappola. The way they want their equipment packaged is ridiculous, must have used 30 feet of bubble wrap. I did find a good use for their dish, its planted out by the highway with a nice sign on it. I know it won't help, but it makes me feel a little better. When I called them about the FAP, all I got was a lecture from some young punk. No one wanted to help until I said take your shit and stick it where the sun don't shine.
I am now with WildBlue , got their best package for $10 a month less than HUGHES was charging.

Hughes net has screwed up my bill over 3 times and not yet have they kept there promise on reducing my bill by 30$ for 3 months. We would cancel it but we would be losing money considering we don't have too much longer till the contract is up. Wild blue is crap as well there Customer support said that we couldn't get it where we are then we called a hour later and someone else told us we could. Hughes net is just taking advantage of people who don't live in high populated areas. I am a very serious gamer yet I have never play on Xbox Live cause of Hughes net. I will be glad to be rid of this dreaded Internet provider.

gee, what a bunch of whiny potty mouths. my hughesnet is great. even when i do use up my bandwidth it's still way faster than dial-up and only $10 a month more. i use the download manager to download updates when you can use all the bandwidth your sorry ass, "i can't wait more than ten seconds for my big mac" line crowding, candy-ass losers, complain about. i can watch southpark episodes and read your sorry ass posts too. so you suck on it!!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

@ Walter Mayfield comment: You are the only one that feels that way. Everyone hates Hughesnet, they blow. I download over 40gbs a week easily. I access my cloud and transfer files from work, my iphone 4. Hughesnet could NEVER support my usage. And according to any information I can find $10 more a month gets you another tiny ass 350mb which is rather parsley, actually that's really shitty. I'm not knocking you, Hughesshit may suit your needs perfectly, obviously there are certain individuals that it works for perfectly, that's how Hughesnet stays in business obviously. However I do have to say that you are a very very very small percentage of satisfied Hughesnet customers.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

More like they're just a troll. There is supposed to be a download window where FAP wouldn't apply, except that you have to gamble on whether it will actually work out that way over any given night.
For instance, I woke up at 3 AM this morning to find the downloads that started at 2 had exceeded the bandwidth limit which shouldn't have even applied during that time, so I had to use up a token to reset it and have been testing every hour on the hour since then with no luck and the download hours about to end shortly.
You get one free token every month but this kind of thing happens several times each month so that only does a little good. If the download window actually functioned consistently then things probably wouldn't be so bad, but instead it's extremely aggravating with how random it is.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

You are an idiot.
First of all, I don't know of anyone that downloads 40gb a week, and this includes friends and family that are IT specialists, 'hackers', hardcore gamers, professional digital photographers, etc. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to do so with the crap that Hughes offers, even taking into account the free download time period.
Secondly, the $10/month extra jumps you up to 350mb/day, not an additional 350mb/day, which is only 2450mb/week, a far cry short of the 40 GIGABYTES you claim.
Finally, I have yet to come across a single positive review (besides yours) of Hughes from anyone that doesn't remind me of my grandparents.

I think several commenters are mis-reading what I posted in my own comment section, so let me repeat, I HATE FUCKING HUGHESNET. Period. When I re-read my comment it seems that some people are thinking that I was praising them, which in fact I am not. And yes, I do download over 40gbs a week. Those downloads are… several TV series shows in 720p (1.47 gb each, usually download about 7 a week) About 4-7 blurays (4gb-11gb each), and maybe one or two games a week (6gb each), not to mention that I am uploading a shitload as well to Vimeo and to my office. I could never…ever, use Hughesnet.
When I posted that comment, I was saying it in reply to a comment I may have deleted where some retard was saying that all of us who hate Hughesnet were "a bunch of whining crybabies", he stated he was more than happy with Hughesnet, and I think he's a really effen idiot.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I've had Hughesnet for about two years now, and I've always known it was slow, I didn't find out until about two months ago about the FAP. Now I have a bookmark in my Firefox to my IP so I can constantly check to see how close I am to exceeding it.

I'm sorry to hear that your in that situation with hughesnet, specially living in a rural area it literally is your *only* option.
The largest kink and catch 22 to hughesnet "broadband" is that they provide you with access to the world wide web, which also exposes you to the viruses and malware on the net. Hence the hightened need for windows and Mac os updates, which can weigh in pretty hefty, last month Apple released an update for Java that alone weighed in at 77mb.
I estimate that if you did a fresh windows 7 install, and used Hughesnet for your internet, it would take you over 17 days to update and download necessary operating system files and windows updates (firefox, adobe reader, winrar, klite codec pack, daemon tools) , now add norton or mcafee antivirus and hit update and again you've broken your FAP.

We pretty much do live in a log cabin in the woods but it's not as isolated as all that. We live 10 miles out of town in WA state near the Vancouver/Camas area but for all the services we get here (phone and electricity and that's it–mail and garbage are 2.5 miles away, no natural gas, water or sewer) we might as well live in the middle of nowhere Wyoming with the nearest town being 30 miles away and I know this because I have lived in the middle of nowhere Wyoming and actually prefer it to here, but I digress.
We've had hughesnet since 2005, and in that time I have dealt with some truly horrific customer service and internet service. I've had outages that lasted 2 months because their "computer system" kept kicking our name out of the repair order. I've had to replace the transmitter twice in 5 years and just recently called customer service because my connection keeps crapping out due to "service degraded" status. They have changed their policies. At least this time they were happy to hear my complaint and send a repair man right away. For $125.00. He checked everything thoroughly and all equipment was fine. He then told me that hughesnet would never admit it but they just have too many people on the same satellite. My only hope is to upgrade to the 9000 series modem, which would require a new dish, and a whole new install because the place where the dish is now would not work for the satellite the 9000 series modem uses.
So here I sit knowing that if I get the new dish and modem, probably about 6 months later one of the hi-speed ISPs around here will miraculously, finally decide to give us broadband. But if I don't get the new equipment hell will probably freeze over before we get broadband, let alone FIOS out here.
There are at least 30 houses on this 3 mile long road and although hughesnet is awful, I also blame the large ISPs as well as the city we pay our taxes to. Just recently, Verizon sold our phone service to some obscure little phone company I have never heard of. I know they (Verizon) did that so they would not be held liable by the FCC for getting us broadband internet. Now when the FCC looks at this little company, they'll see that it is too small to absorb the cost of running broadband or FIOS lines here and those of us who live more than 7 miles out are out in the cold–still. Yeah. I'm pissed.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I have been stuck with Hughesnet since leaving the dark ages of dial-up 5 years ago. It just keeps getting worse and the foreign speaking tech phone calls keep getting longer. There is never a satisfying resolution to what seems to be a system that keeps getting slower even when the FAP hasn't been exceeded. Their solution you ask? Spend more money on an upgraded plan and marry myself to this nonsense for 2 more years. I'm finally out of contract for the 2nd time having upgraded once before (which did nothing for me but cost more). Both Comcast and DSL are unavailable in my area.

I wish someone with the money to do so would file a classaction suit against Hughes. How can FAP be a fair access policy when 1. Its different for each paid level of service, and 2, you can buy tokens to reset it, bothe meaning that it is only fair to those with money to burn. The rest of us get clobbered with worse than dialup speed if we accidentally go over the FAP, which for most of us is 200 MB.

I was stuck with HughesNet for about 2 years until a better service came along in my rural neighborhood. I was never so happy as I was when I was able to call HughesNet and tell them where they could shove their satellite system. The FAP is anything but Fair. They say that only a few people will reach their download/upload limit, but that's simply not true. 500 megs is a very small amount these days of larger files, video and audio. And when they slow you down it's BELOW dial up speeds. My system would frequently slow down to about 25k. And when you consider the high monthly price I was charged ($110) it's totally ridiculous!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Just got set up with Hughesnet. Did it all through the phonebook, so I was surprised to hear about the FAP. My bandwidth meter is hanging on 6% left before FAP. My biggest gripe would have to be that as soon as I'm FAPd, I have to wait 24 hours before I can use the internet again. I read about previous users only needing to wait 3-4 hours. Now that would be TOLERABLE. The refilling bucket system sounded GREAT. I plan to cancel ASAP.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

no one out there should buy this service. if you're satisfied with horribly slow speeds and have nothing else available, stay with dial up. at least with dial up, you get what you pay for and have a dependable connection that isn't victim to bad weather. the only way the internet is even slightly usable with this horrible connecting is with an accelerator, which only degrades images to make you think your internet is faster. do anything that uses any real bandwidth, you get stopped right in your tracks and have to wait for the hughesnet snail to put along with it's very high ping numbers. at the best of times, it's crap. at it's worst, it's only really usable if you view sites devoid of images or graphicsVA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Thanks for the love Super Street Magazine! Bulletproof Automotive Honda S2000In Ben Schaffer's The Real JDM
Back in 2008 I had one of my career highlights of producing two ultimate GT-Rs simultaneously over a short period of time. It was an amazing experience and as I look back on it, I still have the same love for the cars as I did back then (if not more so). I only had these two GT-Rs for a short period of time and after their SEMA debut with Mobil 1 and Toyo Tires the cars were shipped off to opposite sides of the country (Hawaii and New Jersey). Although I've amassed a large collection of photos during the builds and at SEMA, sadly I have much less documented of the two cars together.
A video shoot for Streetfire's television distribution was prepared and that video was going to be my only video documentation of these two beasts together. One afternoon three GT-Rs drove off to do a video shoot by the beach in Los Angeles. The two GT-RR demo cars of the time were joined by Adam from Streetfire's silver GT-R as a camera car. As we ripped up and down the street getting footage I felt that I'd have something great to look back on to remember these cars by. In a matter of a week after the filming the cars dispersed and there was no more footage ever again of them together.
Much to my disappointment the video never made it out of streetfire's offices and I've never seen it. Sadly, no video exists of Brandon's midnight purple R35 at all. (a huge mistake on my part)
So I'm left with just a couple of still pictures that I have from the day to reminisce over the video that wasn't.
As I continue to plan and prepare my latest GT-R project car, I look back at these cars and somehow feel a little intimidated with my current project.
All pictures above are 1800 pix res. The picture below is my favorite of the two cars together but unfortunately this is the best quality I have of it.
I get such a kick out of people re-creating the cars we've produced in video games like Microsoft's Forza. I just got forwarded the link to this re-creation of the white R35 GT-R we developed a bit more than a year ago now for SEMA 2008. Whoever created this did a great job recreating the graphics. Credit goes to our graphics designer over in Japan, Mana-P (Manabu Suzuki), who worked so hard with us and my demands for constant revisions/improvements to reach the conclusion of these graphics. Although the car in real life is currently in full street mode (stripped of all graphics), the crazy graphics scheme lives on with fan re-creations like this in Forza 3!
Source: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/3355948.aspx
And of course the original car this was based on:
I was browsing Signal Auto's blog and saw some pictures and videos of the white GT-RR demo car being loaded into a transport to make it's journey back home to New Jersey. I can never get tired of looking at this car. The livery really sets this car apart but unfortunately most of that has been taken off the car now. But it was awesome that I got to see it in person. It was and still is definitely one of the best GT-Rs. I really want a wallpaper for this car. I'm sure pretty much everyone does too.
The GT-R looks like a 4×4 when it is lifted on the air suspension, doesn't it?
I'm back in Los Angeles again. I wanted to share this random snap I took. With the GT-R specific 20″ Toyo R888s finally in stock and shipping to our clients, we've been just all about these tires lately. Here you can see a stack of 20″ R888s about to soon go on the BBS wheels and in front of that a set of Top Secret TE37 wheels also wrapped in R888 rubber. Both sets are for the same GT-R of course (you've seen both sets of wheels on the car by now I hope). The GT-RR beast looms in the background, looking mighty innocent without the Amuse front diffuser and stripped of graphics.
Bonus pic of R888 stacks:
Ben here, back again and blogging live from New York. Thanks to Stanley Ku, Matt Rus (farmofminds), and Patrick Callahan for holding down The Real JDM blog this week while I've been managing two GT-R builds in NY, CT and NJ.
We recently picked up a brand new black on black 2010 GT-R to build which is in progress out here on the east coast (more on that in a couple of weeks), and we're finishing up our white GT-R build which is well known as the GT-RR / Toyo Tires car.
FYI – What we're doing is really a global affair. That is why you've been hearing about me blogging from various locations quite often. We've been setting up a network of affiliate tuning shops and body shops in key parts of the world to best service our clients. It is all about having the best connections with best tuners in the world so that we can accomplish things that almost nobody else can from anywhere at anytime. Its been a lofty goal but its working quite nicely. I've been back to the east coast quite a lot lately in particular, working with our tuning partners and body shops. I've been here so much lately I'm about to start calling this location GT-RR East. Anyway, back to the main story here…
Lets talk about the related video for a second…
First off, just as planned early on, the white GT-RR demo car is designed to be a street driven and usable car. That is a general requirement for most of our builds, for good reasons since usability is a key component of a good build. As the car is wrapping up, we last installed the Top Secret cup kit in Los Angeles to give the car 3″ extra ground clearance at the push of a button. Then the car was sent back to New Jersey to finish things up with our partners out there. Recently the wild MS-R graphics were stripped off of the car to let it fly a bit more under the radar when blasting down the streets of the dirty Jerz.
What I have intentionally not been talking about for the past few months are the secret power modifications we've been doing to the car. Some things I feel should just not be talked about until results are proven.
So here we are, about to prove some results we've been working hard to achieve. The dyno video was from yesterday and I think we are very close to breaking the horsepower record for a street legal R35 GT-R on pump gas (with cats and stock engine internals).
What you are listening to on the video above is a tuning session, running on pump gas with catalytic converters installed. That exhaust system is full Amuse titanium and I'm just loving the way it sounds under full throttle! I've been used to just cruising it on the streets and it has been very quiet, but in this video the quietness of the exhaust is gone when under WOT! Hope you enjoy the video.
Anyone care to confirm the highest hp #s for a GT-R on street gas with cats installed? If so please let me know the hp and the dyno used (I'm looking for unadjusted numbers for fair comparison). I'd like for my next time posting to be a confirmation that we have the record for max hp in a streetable/catted GT-R since that's been our hopes for this project.
More info on the dyno #s of our project will be coming…and if/when we are satisfied with the dyno #s and results. Then, at that point I'll also finally announce the new parts we've developed and those parts will be available immediately.
Our goals for this build are just about to become realized…this project was never meant to just be a show car, this was meant to be the ultimate R35 GT-R in the world for a moment in time (and then afterwards to be enjoyed as a daily driver for many years to come).
PS – Shouts to Ernie Manasala from NOS Energy Drinks who was there yesterday to witness this beast in action. Shouts also (and especially) to Anthony, the owner of the car who is probably the proudest man in the world right now.

Out of this world maps
Friday, February 29, 2008
I am excited to see that David Rumsey's maps have come to life in Second Life, the extremely popular online, 3-D world. It's such a cool idea: historical maps in a virtual world. I've spent hours playing with the Rumsey maps that appear in Google Earth, sliding back and forth between today's borders and the maps of yesteryear. I find the constellation maps in Sky to be particularly awe-inspiring; I am always amazed at how accurately our ancestors were able to portray the night sky without the aid of powerful telescopes.
As a self-proclaimed map nerd, I'm grateful for the work David has done to make historical maps accessible to the world, and appreciate the innovative ways that he has found to display such fragile documents in digital formats. I highly recommend exploring the more than 17,000 maps of all kinds available on his website, as well as visiting Rumsey Maps Island in Second Life. Being able to interact with a 17th century map in an online world is a pretty amazing experience.

The rlvknlg.exe file is not a Windows system file. The program is not visible. The file is an unknown file in the Windows folder. The application listens for or sends data on open ports to a LAN or the Internet. The program starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run, RunOnce). Rlvknlg.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs, monitor applications and manipulate other programs. Therefore the technical security rating is 74% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify rlvknlg.exe related errors
Important: You should check the rlvknlg.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of rlvknlg.exe: based on 149 votes with 9 reviews. 4 users think rlvknlg.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 4 users think it's probably harmless. 5 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 28 users suspect danger. 108 users think rlvknlg.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 13 users don't grade rlvknlg.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with rlvknlg. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the rlvknlg.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Last summer my mom and me went to the Grand Canyon and took the hike to the bottom. By the time we got there it was too late to start back up, so I pitched the tent and we bedded down for the night. Later, I was awakened by a hand reaching into my sleeping bag . It was my mom!
She unzipped my fly and reached inside for my dick. I started to say something but she stopped me with a soft "Shhh!" She started jacking me off and it wasn't long before I was as hard as a rock. She unzipped my bag all the way and eased my pants down to my knees. A coyote howled outside. "Oh, Mom!" I sighed as she started kissing my dick and balls. I reached into her top and started feeling her tits, her nipples were already hard.
She slipped my dick into her mouth and started giving me a blow job. I looked down and watched her head bob up and down as my lust rose to its' height. The coyote outside howled again just as I let go. She gulped down my load with delight. I rolled over and pulled down her slacks so I could return the favor. After eating her pussy for about twenty minutes my dick was ready again and I moved on top of her and stared ramming her with it. I never thought mom and son sex could be like this!
We kept at it for most of the night, I never came that much before. I knew my mom was a good cook. I didn't know she could fuck like that!
Now we go camping all the time!
(A bad boy but satisfied)
