Paid $80 for a satellite internet booster that did absolutely nothing
Read the reviews, watched the videos, seemed legit. Hooked it up to my HughesNet dish and my speeds actually dropped from 3 Mbps to 1.5. Wasted a whole Saturday on the roof too. Has anybody actually gotten one of those things to work or are they all scams?

Figured this was common knowledge by now, those things are just fancy antennas at best. Are we really acting like a $80 box can fix the actual limitations of satellite internet?

@rose_grant78 what specifically do you think actually causes the biggest lag issues?

idk, reminds me of when I tried to use a signal booster in a basement and still couldn't get a bar to save my life. @rose_grant78 might be onto something about those boxes just being fancy antennas honestly.
