Initial HughesNet HN9000 satellite internet speed test
Our new HughesNet install was completed on Thursday morning. We started with the Express 200 plan and were very pleased with it. Today we called to have our plan upgraded to the Express 300 and it is even better 😉
Here are some speedtest results*
*these results were done on an Android smartphone over a 1/2 mile wifi bridge that then connected to the internet via via HughesNet satellite internet [using an HN9000 modem, .98m dish and “Express 300” plan]

With the wifi bridge, these are somewhat worst case results. Optimal results to follow later if people are interested.
