Has anyone here had the opportunity to try out microcell with Hughes Net satellite internet?
I have signed up for the 1.7K service but the upload speed is in the 200's. It may be too slow.
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

AT&T clearly says it won't work with satellite based internet. You need a DSL, Cable or Fiber connection.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, my DSL is only 256 up/down so that won't work.

If you only want to get voice, and only one call at a time, 256k might be enough (DSL not satellite), worth a try and you can alway return it.

Ok.. I have Hughesnet and an AT&T Micro Cell Tower hooked to it. It does work for data and text. I have barely one bar of EDGE service where I live here in the sticks. I needed to be able to send and receive my 6000 text a month here at home and was tired of missing or not getting my texts unless i'm in that "special" spot! So I bought a micro cell and it absolutely works for just that. I have a home phone and my cell is forwarded to my home phone.. So voice calls are covered.
So for me, the micro cell tower works for my needs using Hughesnet.
