I know folks that had it installed and then removed 2 days later because the service was crap. They were a stationary sticks and bricks install.

I’ll stick with my dual SIM PepWave.

PepWave Max Transit Duo uses multiple SIM cards for LTE access. I have SIMS for Verizon and AT&T installed with 200 GB with each service (400 GB total). The system connects to the service with the best signal.

I bought at a discount through a reseller during the FMCA Convention in Wyoming back in July. Service options available also included T-Mobile.

I no longer use the Winegard

I tested a friends setup with Hues stationary home installation.
They were getting .4mbps (that's point 4)

As I understand it, HughesNet requires very precise satellite pointing, so it is really only suitable for permanent installations, not an RV.
