I have Hughes, and there are times it really acts like dialup, so you might find it to your liking. My personal opinion is if rural American fed us like Hughes treats Rural America we would all die of starvation. But it is what it is, and if it is the only option they have you by the belt and there is not much you can do if you want a internet connection, and there are no other options.
My project is to get me a 5Ghz link from town into here and send Hughes packing. I really do not understand why not go to the higher speeds if that is all that is offered in your area. Of course if you are like me and satellite is now all that is offered, you either have to go without, go satellite or as others have pointed out, try to find another dialup ISP. I only live less that 4 miles from the DSLAM here in town, and cable is within a mile of my place, but none of the wide band solutions consider it worth their while to update the infrastructure to bring us up to speed. They have cherry picked all of the easy stuff, all the while they are getting money from the universal fund for extending into rural areas wonder what they are doing with it?
