Which is better Hughes Net or Wild Blue?

Answer 1

HughesNet brings high-speed, reliable satellite internet access to consumers and small businesses throughout North America. HughesNet is by far the largest provider in this sector. Utilizing 12 satellites, HughesNet service coverage is continent-wide, reaching an estimated 10 million or more households and over 3 million small businesses in the U.S. that are not serviced by wired broadband technologies like cable Internet or DSL Internet service.

Wild Blue was founded in April 1995. Wild Blue provides high-speed satellite Internet service via satellite. Wild Blue launched its Internet service in June 2005. Wild Blue's second satellite, Wild Blue-1, was built by Space Systems/Loral and was launched in late 2006. Wild Blue installed its first customer in June of 2005 and currently they now have approximately 50,000 customers in North America. Wild Blue does not currently service the entire USA.

Answer 2

Both are horrible! The only time you get the really high speeds that they advertise is when no one else is online (such as after midnight when everyone else is asleep. My everyday download speeds on Hughesnet were under 200K for most of the day If you live in a remote area where good high speed service,such as DSL or cable, is not available....then I would recommend you try Verizon 3G MiFi as your service provider. You will get much faster speeds with 3G than ANY of the internet satellite companies. The Verizon packages are limited like the satellite packages, meaning that you can only use so much per month, but at least with Verizon you get much better service for the money. It is important to understand that any limited internet service is NOT for streaming or downloading large movie files, so services like Netflix streaming or Video on Demand would not work for limited internet access....you would have to live in an area that provides UNLIMITED high speed internet access for movie streaming. If Verizon 3G doesn't cover your area either, then check the other cell phone companies to see if they have 3G coverage with internet options.

If you still decide to go with satellite service, then I would suggest WildBlue over Hughesnet. their speeds clocked in slightly faster and they have AMERICAN customer service.
