    I had Direcway (DW300) for 3-4 years and drop them because I need to move in 2005 because the landlord was a b!tch. Once I got things going at our new house. I going to give them a ring and tell them that I just moved and I need installer to hook it up back online. They tell me my equipment was too old. So I got pissed and hang up and got dial up (Netzero) and it was no fun. They keep spamming me and I keep losing phone calls so I went back to Direcway (installed on October 2007) which is now Hughesnet and thought well hopefully they improved....boy I was wrong but its the only option to get! So I currently on Pro Plan for $74 a month.

    sure beats 3 hours of downloading a song but I want out. Please Verizon or Frontiernet...bring DSL in Creston, WV

    Update 8/22/2009 - Last month lighting ran into my house and fry the power adapter. I ring in hughesnet and they give me a better (65 watt) power adapter. I very please that the power adapter looks like a laptop power adapter instead of some bulky box that covers my extra plug-in on my surge protector. The cost...10 days off my billing. I also got a e-mail that I can get 10 dollars off for six months. This month bill now 53 dollars. Past 3 days I been getting 12KB on my downloads and usage page was also down. Everything seems to be normal now today. Still wishing for DSL

    Update 10/13/2009 - Well Its been 2 years now and things still run ok. I still getting discount for 6 months. I no longer worried about getting FAP since I know what to watch out and also tech support can now release you from FAP (only once a month) but I still monitor my usage in case I get fap again. I now runing zvolts scprit for my usage page with greasemonkey and firefox. Which you can get from theses links....

    Firefox
    »www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html

    Greasemonkey
    »https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

    hughes usage calc by zvolts (now works for HN9000)
    »userscripts.org/scripts/show/56458

    oh almost forgot. they did fix Twitter's Search!

    11-03-2009 Hughes email me beta tools where I can free myself from FAP but the limit is still there. »services.hughesnet.com/service_tools/
