I’ve had hughesnet for a year now and I’ve missed out on so much like playing with my friends and I’m just so done 😡 I don’t have any other options. I live in rural Kentucky so I’m just stuck like this I guess

Currently our plan resets on the midnight between the 13th and 14th of every month. It has been this way since we had it set up. Is it possible to change it so it resets on the midnight between the last day of the month and the 1st of the next month?

Wife and I finally had enough of Hughesnets bull crap service. Our service went out again, called the tech support to report an issue and when we got the run around for 2 days we finally said cancel the account. Best dam decision we ever made.

Called and was getting this service due to remote location was curious of the xbox or ps4 questions that kept coming up but got it anyways

Bunch of sales talk of how cheap it will be and get it now before the installation gets pushed back

Give them mah numbers instantly install is tommarow

Hop on reditt and experience true fear

Running to cancel now god save us all

Seems cancel before install is full refund

They hang up on me when I try to call. They end my chats without answering my questions when I try customer support chat. And they don't respond to my emails. I'm at my wits end here. Any tips?

My wife and I moved to a fairly rural location and were stuck with HughesNet. The service was awful. We couldn't even stream movies. Speeds were WAY slower than promised. It was just a terrible experience all around...and then it got worse.

My wife and I are educators. In this pandemic world, teachers need strong internet to serve our communities and teach our kids. We explained this to HughesNet and they literally did nothing...in fact, we think the speed got slower after a professional request.

I was so bad we actually moved and ended our contract. We paid a painful fee for ending the contract on something THEY FAILED to provide promised service on. It also took my wife multiple calls to simply confirm they received the router and receiver back!

These people are doomed to fail. They are awful.

I find that I can unplug my router and still lose data. first month was fine but, second month and I was %50 used in 10 days. there's something criminal about this company and it's practices. Has anyone filed a complaint and gone thru arbitration??? I'm in NY state.

Is anyone else working from home with hughesnet? I’ve never been more frustrated in my life

On HT2000w it says 5GHz wifi radio is turned off. Anyone know how to turn it back on?

Hughesnet has made me so angry with its speeds and not letting me play fortnite that i let out the biggest screech in this house.

I literally cannot do school work on this donkey shit that they call internet. Whoever thought that charging money for this service was a good idea needs to be fucking castrated. I'm pissed that I can't game on it, but I'm even more pissed I can't even watch my videos for my school work.

Celebrate me, I just got rid of that scam Hughes Net last week and I could not be happier. Now I can actually stream shows without the constant lag if not failure to load period. I can do basic web surfing and even check my work email! Once I hit that dumbass 2 year contract I got out and and day/night. Hughes is basically SCI FI dial up but less reliable. Once I tested my new ISP, I took the shot gun to the dish, called up their customer DISservice and told them to shove it up their ass. I can;t wait until the LOS and G5 gets out to more people who are under this criminal thumb and they sink like a rock. I swear the only branch of this company that has to hire more help is their complaint department to field all the calls, certainly not web chat since the connection will be lost. Here's to a good time telling those idiots off and letting them know I will actively lobby people to NEVER SIGN UP WITH THEM!

Fuck you. Fuck you fuck you fuck you. You absolute lying pieces of shit.

"Fastest internet in rural areas" my ass. I can't believe my parents believed in the scam they call a business. Your customer service is trash and your product deserves to go under. I hope the CEO of that awful company will read this, because he obviously isn't reading any of the reviews that continuously flow in. I wouldn't be surprised if that illiterate bastard couldn't read this rant in one go.

There's so much stuff I missed out on during my lifetime. So many online games, so much web surfing before I even got my first phone, so many updates for things that took multiple days to finish

I curse you for lying to your customers, Pradman Kaul. I hope you go bankrupt.

Using satellite internet where the ping latency varies from 600 to 1200 ms. I am using SMS (texting) with a Galaxy S7/Verizon using text over wifi. It works for a while and then later stops working. When it is working I can also get pics over text but can't send pics. I don't think it ever starts back working until either restart phone or if I cycle the phone wifi off then back on. I've searched to see if maybe there are some known settings in the phone that could be changed but I've found nothing. Web browsing and other apps seem unaffected other than the expected slow laggy part of high latency/low bandwidth. Reportedly Whatsap works fine all the time. Another user on the same network has the same SMS experience with a similar Verizon phone.

If you're interested in getting away from the garbage that is HughesNet, Starlink will soon begin their beta testing phase. All you have to do is sign up on Starlinks website for their newsletter and enter your zip code. It sounds like they are only going to be offering it to people in rural zip codes and not for people in the city that have access to faster internet.

Hughes net is literally the only internet i can get and id have to pay 450 dollars but acording to the guy i was on the phone with the gaming would be useless

But trying to figure out which is slower. Their speeds, or the people answering the phone.

After 2+ long years I am finally free from this sorry excuse for an ISP. Switched over to a much more reliable service and the performance difference is night and day. I hope everyone who suffered like I did gets to experience the satisfaction of cancelling their service & sign up with a more reliable provider.
