I've been getting that message from them for 3 years.

Last time I checked, both Wildblue and Hughesnet start-up costs were around $600, nonrefundable, with a year or longer contract, no early termination allowed. So, you pay them to install the hardware, and if it doesn't work to your expectations... you keep paying them. Most feedback I'd read at the time suggested that Hughesnet worked irregularly, and seldom delivered the promised throughput.
