Re: Today I have...
Last night my internet got gang banged by a solar flare, hit hard enough it caused me to loose calls from 9:00 PM till 1:00 AM, at 11:00 PM my internet went out, and wireless in the house died. The only satellite for my modem up in space was affected which shut down every person on hughesnet with an HN9000 modem. I think ~13 hours from flare taking the sat out, and them getting it back online was really good.
Next month the contract expires and I will be checking out a local ISP that uses wifi tech for internet locally. 10Mbps down, 2.5Mbps up, no limits, $250 install fee and $60 a month don't sound bad to me for what I am paying right now. I used to work at this company and know the install fee is good since the equipment costs around $1300 for install, should have seen the old fees, it was equipment + 2 hours standard labor at $80 an hour.
