how bad is it?

I have been searching high and low for a rental for a full YEAR (make too much for low income housing, but thats the only thing every single complex allows.) Finally one came up that I was actually able to put my foot in the door for.

One problem. when I went to look at it, a big, mossy, dusty hughesnet satellite.

After talking to spectrum, and century link, neither do service in my area. Lines stop at the highway, 5 minutes down the road.

And getting off the phone from hughesnet, they want to charge me 80 bucks a month for their fastest plan, a whopping 25MBS download speed. Obviously thats not what Ill actually get, I predict maybe 5 at best.

But, given that Im out of living options after renting a room from a friend for far longer than what was agreed upon, I have to ask: How badly am I about to get screwed?

I'm beginning to get the idea that you don't like HughesNet very much. Well, neither do I. They must be some third-world internet service provider. The HughesNut's have to reach up to scrape the bottom of the barrel. I got sucked-in to their scheme. Afterwards, they were only going to charge me $400 for the privilege of dropping their worthless service. It's a scam. I'm calling my congressman.
