    Equipment price change-HN???

    I cannot find a post I thought I read earlier about Hughes Net having a pricing change on Nov 15th. (e.g. $300 for the equipment) Does anyone know the facts? Are we talking an increase or decrease? I am also seeing some dealers offering an additional rebate running from 50 to 150 in...

    Hughes Net Equipment Options

    Most of the posts here tend to favor WB over HN. I guess that this is because it is a bit less expensive and more heavily advertised. Anyway I am going with HN. I seem to recall that there were some modem issues with HN. Is the 7000S modem the present modem that is installed on the Home...

    Coax feed and mount

    I haven't read every post here, but I am getting ready to order service either from WB or HN. I have "everything" ready inside of my attic and my internal gigabit LAN is centrally located in the center of the attic on a 6/12 hip roof. I have three Dish Network dishes located on an antenna...
