Dish.net for Internet?
My understanding is Dish bought Hughes.net and sells it as Dish.net for Dish customers. They claim they have increased speed by 4 times and response time is faster (time it takes for signal to go to and from the satellite).
I don't know whether this works for RV's on the road or how well it works at a home.
Any experiences with Dish.net or recent ones with Hughes.net?
My reason for these questions is that my wifi ISP is increasing prices by close to 30% and I am interested in an alternative to their marginal service. I wonder also whether Dish.net is movable. I don't have much interest in satellite for the trailer, but for another house we are remodeling while we sell the one we live in—I suppose an RV system would work there too and then eventually use in the trailer—if it worked for internet on the road, so much the better. So far what I read on things like Tailgater turn me off to the system because it is more than I want to learn (and spend) and my dealings with Dish customer service have always been difficult. But if Dish.net is portable, maybe it is an alternative to cell data plans for internet (I'd use that if I could get a decent Verizon signal at our present house and will be researching that as well).
It seems if the companies that sell these various communication services made things simple—plans that are clear, costs that are reasonable, hook ups that are understandable—a lot more people would buy their products.
