There are some still using the Hughes satellite internet system. They say they have 1,000,000 users. Not very many really.
But it turns out that I've run into it twice this year, after 8 years of quiet. One run in was back in April where it was used as the RV park wide internet source. Pretty fast too, 36 Mbps Up, and 3.2 Mbps down. Very adequate for every day surfing, but they'd cut the whole park off if the data restriction level was reached on any day, to prevent streaming. Got reset at night. Made me get busy and advertise my setup. Wanted to sell it.
Then the other run it with the Hughes Net was from a guy in San Diego, who is buying my old '06 Hughes net system to replace some of his still active system that he takes down to Mexico with him every year. Suppose to meet up and deliver the system in March.
So I guess it's still a thing.
I know, OP is more interested in satellite TV most likely. Just rambling.
