Here's my opinion why is Exede
better that HughesNet / DishNet.
|
Technology is one MAJOR answer. You may have
heard that Hughesnet recently launched a satellite and is
offering speeds they never had before.
That satellite is based on the Viasat-1 satellite technology
that was pilfered (patent infringement) from Viasat by
Loral, the manufacturer of Viasat-1 and possibly several satellites
that soon followed using the same technology. Viasat won it's lawsuit proving the
patented technology was created by Viasat and was granted 100
million dollars as a settlement. Plus any satellite using that
technology must be licensed through Viasat.
Viasat
could have attempted to stop or delay the launch of that
Echostar/Hughesnet satellite, but they felt it wasn't
neccesary since that technology is already eight years behind
the Viasat-2 technology. Viasat is already building two Viasat 3
satellites (having Boeing build them instead of Loral) that
are vastly superior to the VS-2 satellite they recently
launched, the next of which is scheduled for launch by late
2021.
What does Echostar/Hughes have planned?
It doesn't matter. They seemingly are so far behind the
satellite internet technology of Viasat that it is unlikely they could catch up to
Viasat-2 technology, much less Viasat-3 technology which two
new satellites are currently being built by Boing- right here
in Arizona.
Viasat-2 will be offering speeds up to 100Mbps
in some areas. I don't believe they are offering it
in Arizona at this time. (At least not in our neck of the
woods.) It's possible they may only offer that speed in some
major cities.
Viasat has just begun to offer Unlimited Data
allowances! On their Viasat-2 satellite, they
currently offer three packages with unlimited data allowances
at speeds of 12, 25, and 30/50 Mbps. (Depending on your
location.) You were once not able to
enjoy Netflix on satellite internet, but things have changed.
Back in the day, PS&E was a dealer of
Directway/Hughesnet because they had gotten better
than Starband, the first real two-way satellite internet
system that we originally offered.
But then came Wildblue. They were
equivilent in speed, but Wildblue seemed to have their ducks
in a row, and did not use India for customer service. Viasat
built their equipment, but then decided to buy the company.
That's when they turned Wildblue into a product name and came
out with a newer product called Exede. It was like night and
day in the system performance and speed.
Currently Viasat has dropped product names for
advertising and now goes simply by- Viasat. |
