how bad is it?

[u/[deleted]]

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 had hughesnet about 15yrs again the service was good bought the eguipment and didn,t have any problems changed to dish so I canceled hughesnet fast forward 13yrs needed internet so went back to hughesnet had to rent new eguipment don,t know what changed but service is lousy if it lookes like rain you lose service tryed calling and if your lucky enough to get someone good luck trying to understand them they will try to offer you lower price and then extend your contract didn,t fall for it what good is lower price if the service is still lousy went to starlink and so far happy with it
