We've been with Hughesnet for a little over a month and it's VERY hard to
get
used to...
We got the slowest speed because even it was $60 a month, but the range of
speed
and connection/drop is all over the map..

I set my rural based parents up on HughesNet last year and so far they've no
complaints after the initial setup marathon. But they were on dialup AOL
before that, so when you're used to canned meat a hamburger can seem like a
feast.

IIRC, they're paying around $80/month.

Having gone from 300 baud to thinking 14.4 was blazing, then ISDN, DSL, T1
and now cable, I don't want to contemplate life without broadband ... how
soon we forget.

Makes that BIG shop, way out in the peaceful countryside, seem a little less
appealing.
