I'd read horror stories online, but oddly enough got some reassurance from a local plumber who replaced our water heater. He said he had no troubles.

Almost 5 months later I have no complaints with HughesNet, but would prefer unlimited data so we can watch videos, use our Google Home devices, and get some Nest cameras. We assume the Google Home devices and Nest cameras would use too much data.
