Monthly internet charge seems more reasonable than Spectrum. Thanks in advance!
Hughesnet internet is insanely slow: 25mbps!! You should always get your internet on a promotion: Spectrum $49/mo 100mbps for 1 year. if you can, cancel your service after 1 year and switch to Comcast which is $40/mo for 1 year...(but you have to buy your own modem). At the end of the year, and not any sooner, cancel when their promo ends and switch back to Spectrum as a new customer for $49/mo. Always make sure you get free installation. (Don't let them tell you it'll be $100 to install. Ask for a supervisor)
