HughesNet - satellite internet.... sometimes

If you're thinking of ordering HughesNet satellite internet, take a look at this photo and ask yourself if this is something you're going to want to see often:



I receive this error a lot with HughesNet.  Most of the time, it'll happen when I'm trying to access some websites but not others, and the situation usually gets resolved within a couple of hours.

This morning, I was unable to access any websites, and received the above error regardless of which site's URL I tried to access.

I will try contacting HughesNet customer service to ask about this, but after my last experience with them, I don't expect much.

Dial HughesNet's sales line, and your call will be answered immediately.  Try calling their customer service, and you'll get a recording that you may have to wait for twenty or thirty minutes before you're assisted.

Everything You Need to Know about SOPA and PIPA

The Consumerist is devoting an entire day to the Stop Online Piracy (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) legislation currently being debated by Congress. 

They've got a host of links to articles about this threat to the Internet and your experience there.  I encourage you to visit, as well as sign petitions against both SOPA and PIPA.  Links to petitions are everywhere - including Google's home page - if you click on the black box.
