Reply #142: My Son Lives In The Country & HATES HughesNet! Says It Has THE WORST

internet connection EVER! We can ALL go back & forth about WHICH is better than another, but in the end, we ALL have to make certain choices about what to do for ourselves!

We are very longtime DISH users and I've NEVER had problems with them! Do I like what's happening? NO! But switching will cost me money and DISH says they are trying to negotiate because they don't want to lose business. I'm SURE they're aware how MUCH business they'll lose, so I'm waiting it out.

In the end, we may have to switch to something, but living where I do I wonder if switching won't just bring another set of problems. I don't own a upgraded PC, and can't afford to buy the a new one either. Plus, I'm "techie" challenged and don't even know HOW to connect my PC to my TV!

So since, we as a family do nothing unless it's free outside of our home, TV is just about our only recreational outlet! I haven't gone to a movie in YEARS & YEARS! We don't eat out nor have we taken trips unless needed or someone else pays. Which isn't something that happens you know.

However, I WAS LUCKY about a year and a half ago and someone DID pay for me to go to San Francisco, which I throughly enjoyed!
