Hello guys.
Yes, I know it's 2018, and there are far greater internet options available...BUT I just bought a house in the middle of nowhere, and due to a hefty down payment, on top of bills and general living expenses, I'll be a bit strapped for cash until I can get back on my feet financially.
That means, having to let a luxury or two go for the time being. Now, the only options available in my area are DSL, which is crazy expensive, you need an active phone line in order for it to work, and the total (after taxes) is $103/month, can't afford that. And Hughes net satellite.
I recently read a few reviews and they don't seem very good.
The charges break down as follows: (when bundled with phone) Cell service is sh1t out here is why
Estimated Monthly Recurring Fees:
Service Plan: Gen5 10 GB $49.99
HughesNet Voice: Domestic $24.95
Equipment Lease Fee: $14.99
Lease Equipment Fee Offer ($5.00)
Total Monthly Recurring Fees: $84.93
+Taxes
Amount charged to your credit card today: $84.93
The problem is, they also run a credit check, and my credit isn't the greatest. So, that option would be out.
And, of course. Dial up. 14.99/month.
I play a lot of steam games like Resident Evil 6, Fallout 4, Saints Row IV, Sims 3/4, Rise of The Tomb Raider, btw the 2013 reboot was AMAZING!
I am just not sure if I will be able to play these games without any type of lag. Mind you, this will only be temporary until I can afford something better. Thoughts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
