You've summed up Hughes.net PERFECTLY....
It's only "high speed" because they can't call it "barely better than dial up in many respects"..
Their 'tech support' is a bad joke.
Hughes.net has over-sold it's service, and has more customers than capacity to serve them with decent speeds, and it's only going to get worse before it gets better.
Use Hughes.net, but only because I'm in the same boat... rural, and have no other option. Dial up speed on the antiquated phone lines here tops out at 14,400 at BEST, so that's not a viable option.
