Hughes is no longer supporting installation/reactivation of HN7XXX systems in the US. Haven't for a few years now. Where is this HN7700 physically located? Inside the US, or outside? //greg//

Given that both RX and TX data are counted against your monthly data, yes. Extended viewing will chew up and spit out your data allowance inna heartbeat. //greg//

Not sure how that rumor started, I feel I get what I pay for. But 10GB doesn't go far these days. Pretty sure they count both what I send and what I receive against my monthly allowance tho. But I have experienced long lag times between when I consume the data - and when the usage actually shows...

Can't speak for Exede, but I was a HughesNet customer for 12 excruciating years. That said, the only alternative then was dialup. But as soon as Home Fusion hit the towers around me, I dropped satellite like a hot potato. I'm on the $60/mo plan (10GB) which is $20 cheaper than I was paying for...

I don't see a problem. Or am I missing how you (or Mr Wales) correlate(s) "irrelevant or outdated" with "censorship"? //greg//

Well, there is with analog. Out here in the boonies we haven't seen digital cable service from Time-Warner yet. So since there was no mention of whether this Cox connection was analog or digital, I mentioned "TV audio". //greg//

No reason to doubt the man, if that's what's actually happening. This cable service you're describing carries a minimum of three signals; TV video, TV audio, modem. In many cases the cable company provides the filter box to split the signals for routing to the appropriate device; Cable in/TV...

Interesting device, but was this Cox subscriber splitting the TV signal or the Internet signal. I don't see any indication that the RS device does anything but pass on the composite signal. That's ok if his TVs filter out the Internet frequency, or the Internet modem filters out the TV...

I'd say you need both recertification and hands-on. You were originally certified under Wildblue tenure. WB is now owned by ViaSat, hence the new name (Exede). New name, new hardware, new procedures. Click here to get started. //greg//

Just depends upon how many subscribers are on your cable tributary. In rural areas, cable internet branches out from a common feed to serve side roads, housing developments, etc. If the tributary is long enough, there's a repeater at the branch. It's from that point that an increasing number of...

My bad. Would have been more clear if I'd have typed "Had the OP had mentioned DSLAM"...//greg//

No problem. Had you specified DSLAM even once in this thread, you could have us all a lot of typing. Nonetheless, the suggestion to test drive cable for an overlap month stands. //greg//

Assuming your DSL is traveling via copper wire, the speed will vary relative to the length of the wire it travels. Those closest to the central office will get the fastest speed, those at the end of the line will get the slowest. But because it's a dedicated line, at least you can pretty much...

First, there is no such thing as "4G/LTE over satellite". Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. Second, reading this topic from the beginning would have answered every one of your questions. But to summarize; 1. no 2. I had a month to back out of the deal if I didn't like the service 3...

You state that you already have a Verizon 4G signal and a 5GB/month plan. I have Verizon also, and am using a contract iPhone. When I started the contract, only 3G or slower was ever displayed on the phone as the data connection. Then one day I started noticing 4G/LTE popping in and out. Within...

I'd stick with the 4G, better coverage will eventually make it your way. I say this because you can't get a satellite broadband connection without a service commitment. Lotsa folks have been financially disappointed when they realize that terrestrial broadband moved into their area while they...

Oh, and just so I didn't mislead you, the 5Mbps and 12Mbps are download speeds only. The uploads are much slower, advertised at up to 3Mbps. But it's the "up to" part that covers their butt. Most folks complain of uploads of less than 1/3 that, especially during peak usage hours. Remember, this...

Nope. Not saying that at all. Again, older Ku-band service had a daily limit. I only expressed the daily limit times 30 days to give you an idea of how they compared to the monthly limits of the current generation. If you get the 10GB plan - and use it all in one day watching a couple full...

425/day was my the limit on older Ku-band older account On average, that's <13GB/month. That was the most expensive plan. I think the cheapest was 325/day. The newer Ka-band accounts switched to a monthly allowance vice daily, yet are no more generous with the data allowance; 10G/mo basic plans...

Ok, guess I got distracted. Dish Internet, not Dish HDTV. So yeah, ViaSat1 is in fact at 115.1 and it carries Exede brand satellite internet. As I explained, Dish is a reseller of Exede service //greg//

Well, it was better than dialup. Hence me hanging on to the lesser of the two evils for so many years. Dialup aside, satellite itself is not good value for money from the customer perspective. The satellite equipment I finally ended up taking down was only good for up to 1200k reception and 200k...

SatMex5 used to be @114.9, but it's defunct. XM Radio @115W, but doesn't look like any HDTV. Click here. Perhaps for Mexican TV on SatMex6 (113W) ? //greg//

FWIW, satellite or dialup were my only options too - until last year. Then Verizon expanded Home Fusion service into the 4 towers that surround me. Dropped HughesNet (was with them since 2001), signed a two year commitment with Verizon, free equipment, free installation. Since then an...

Likely both, but that article is pretty much devoid of tech specs as to what actually makes it "cutting edge". Phased array antennas have been around for quite a while, but they're typically fixed. I guess what makes this one special must be portability. //greg//

Just a name change. The "old Wildblue" is now Exede5, coverage provided by WB1 orbiting @ 111.1W. Legacy customers simply changed modems (Surfbeam1 --> Surfbeam2) to switch from Wildblue to Exede5. //greg//
