Normally when you order HughesNet satellite internet, your order is placed in the system one day, and a local installer calls you the next day to setup and configure your satellite dish and equipment. Most people don't bother to think about the logistics of having thousands and thousands of local installers in every state - sometimes it just doesn't work. Alaska is one of the states where installers of HughesNet are hard to come by.
When you think of Alaska what comes to mind? Trees. Rivers. Eagles. Nature. Let's pretend for a minute that you're a mountain man who lives in Alaska in a small shack with a laptop and decide to order HughesNet because you need broadband internet access. Sorry to inform you but it just won't happen.
Don't think people haven't tried to send installers to Alaska, they have, but there are problems you would never imagine. Some installers have been confronted by a hungry bear. Other times it's an angry moose. Some need to venture so far into the wilderness that they travel by helicopter, canoe, float plane, and dog sled while also transporting all their equipment.
Thinking about moving to Alaska? I might be a good idea if your trying to get away from civilization and have no need for the internet of computers. But if your like me and need internet access 23 hours out of the day, forget Alaska!

Last week, several wildfires raged throughout central and southern California - many were the result of fierce Santa Ana winds, others were accidental, some were arson. Since Satellite Family is located in southern California, we were surrounded by the destruction all week.
