Stop Shrinking My Food!!! (the continuing saga)

As an investor, I understand that companies are squeezed with inflation too, and many are reluctant to raise prices as their costs go up, because they're afraid consumers will stop buying their products.  But consumers aren't stupid, and many realize that their packages are smaller (and the prices went up anyway).  Shrinking product sizes now, when you've been shrinking product sizes for years is adding insult to injury, and I want it to stop.

ARGH! I am so tired of rebooting my HugesNet modem!

Do you have HughesNet?  If so, you're used to seeing this:

hughesnet, error, isp, satellite

Or maybe your system status is yellow and your "turbopage" is down.

Yes, when it's working, HughesNet is much better than dial-up.  But it's not working with the regularity one would expect for $60 per month.  And when you call customer service, you're put on hold for a long time before being allowed to speak with someone with limited English skills who tells you to re-boot your modem.  Again.  And again and again and again.
