I left Comcast (see: https://comcastgeorgia.blogspot.com/) and went to Dish. Now Dish does not have it's own Internet and you have to go with another firm.
The promotion I went with had Dish partnered with Hughesnet.com so I just signed up with them on Nov. 1st, 2017. Big mistake!
I will fill you in later on this, but in summary over 28 days I had vastly fluctuating download and upload speeds. I kept pretty much up on it by using and recording the speeds on their own speed meters.
Here is what I was getting:

My outgoing email on their form to Hughes Net

My service is now ended with Hughes and I would like to return the 'pistol' from the dish and 2 other items (Modum and cord).
I understand that you will be sending a box for me to use in returning the 3 items.
Your rep who handled the closing indicated that the service tech who went up to the roof to remove the pistol would end up taking all 3 items.
While he did show up today 12/2, he did not take the 3 items, just removed the pistol and gave it to me.
So now I need the box and prepaid label for UPS, so will you advise if you are now sending this?
