I have a HughesNet Link, here, that the Cannery used for a couple of years.... They dropped it 2 years ago, as they were always exceeding the Allowed bandwidth, and getting FRAPPED. It now is relegated to Hot Standby Mode, if our Main IP Link dies... I found that Starband works well for My Neighbors and I. I have two Starband IP Links, that have been up, using various Modems, since they started their SAT based IP Service. My Results... YMMV.....
In a previous life, company I worked at used hughesnet. over limit bandwidth charges were killing us. plus 6hr connection resets were quite problematic for a business. We abandoned it after a couple of years as we were able to get a pair of T1 connections to the plant. My opinion, they suck unless you can't get anything else, then they are great.
