Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dish Internet

Any of you have experience? Bought a new property and plan to build in a year or so. The other option would be Verizon hot spot or internet.

another option is Starlink

You'll like that better than Dishnet

Just don't.

Get Starlink.

Dish will cut out every time it's cloudy, rainy,etc.
Starlink is the answer.

No to your question.

If available in your locale-We use a T-Mobile home internet box. $50/month for unlimited. Wife works from home and is on video conferences all day. Stream YouTube tv and all the other streaming services the kids use. Zero issues.

My buddies got Starlink at their office and love it.

Some of y'all must have good cell service.

Some days we can't get a phone call out................or in. Incoming ones many times go straight to voicemail. I think we hit one tower here, and some days it might not be working well. Many times I have to restart my phone just to reconnect to the system or I can't do anything.

But, we have a line of sight ISP set up with a local company. I much prefer giving them our $38/mo compared to the +/- $100 we were giving to HughesNet. Never go with them if you can avoid it. They suck donkey balls. We had to use them for a few years after we first moved in as the local folks didn't have the capacity at that time for new customers. And get this, they were nice enough to their existing ones to not overload their system and provide poor service just to get more customers on the books.

Good luck with it OP. Maybe the Starlink deal is a solution. I sure hate clogging up the sky with more junk. But who knows, maybe my ISP is getting their signal from Elon's strings of light?

We're the same Geno but with no lines of sight[Appalachian hills&hollers].
We just gave up a couple of years back.

We were using Dobson, land line, horrible, we tried several others, HughesNet is biggest rip off in country, can’t believe they haven’t been sued out of existence, now doing T-Mobile, not great, we have boosters everywhere too, live in the sticks, nothing is good.

avoid DISH at all costs.
They are notorious for raising prices annually, and not giving you any more channels along with the price increase. Plus you're paying mostly for channels that you don't ever watch anyways.
If there's anyways to get set up to stream, do it....

there's a reason that DISH is losing customers left and right.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And DirecTv is no better.

DISH—NEVER!! Their customer service is so far below any other co. I know, you almost would not believe it could be that bad!

I don’t know about Dish for TV, I had DirecTV for 24 years, there price never stopped going up, I had everything, there service sucked, they got to big. I dropped them and went to Dish, for last 4 or five years, they are cheaper a month, and satellite is just as good, and I can take my little box out of house and put in RV with satellite on top of RV , doesn’t cost anymore. I think everything is equal out here in sticks.

When we bought our place in CO (11,200 ft), there was a Dish on site. Didn’t take me long to tear it all out.

We use a group called “A New Way to Net”. Basically uses the cell tower network. Has been great for our use, cell phones, lap tops, TV streaming.

Our “neighbors” that work from home and need a lot more juice than we do have Starlink and are very pleased with it.

NEVER do business with "Cheap Charlie", and NEVER work for Dish.

Their founder is the biggest [bleep] in all of Colorado.

He's a billionaire who never tips.

That should tell you everything you need to know about him.

Thanks for Starlink , we have a T-Mobile tower about two miles away, I think it’s to close, streaming sucks, internet slow, will check it out, for 120 a month it better be fast.

They are running fibreoptics by us.

That's really cool. Probably doesn't help the OP though.🤦
