Deceptive GEN5 Upgrage Practice, or lack of upgrade.
I have been trying since Monday to get my system upgraded to GEN5 Every time they try to subnit my order, it returns an error, supposedly saying the system they are trying to contact is not availabl...
Good morning jlantz,
Please check your PMs, as I've sent you the contact information for your dealer doing the Gen 5 upgrade for you.
Here's an idea Hughes... If you really care about your customers, why don't you lower my current monthly payment to $99.99 a month for my current plan, since you say you can't or won't or refuse to upgrade me to the new 50gig plan that is $99.99 a month.
I am being ripped off by you not upgrading me... You are charging me more, for a lesser plan than your current top tier upgrade...
I would also love to know why you do not use US call centers? I am sick and tired of trying to understand someone who has no idea how to fix my problem... Also if you "accidently" hang up on a customer, why do you not call them back? OH I KNOW.. because the agent has no way to fix this problem, and wants nothing mere than to get another irate customer off the phone.... Hughes would rather leave a long time customer hanging than give them SERVICE....
I don't know.. maybe it's time to go to Excede.. but then again, I'm sure Hughes could really care less...
Good morning jlantz,
Welcome to the community and thanks for posting. We certainly do want to upgrade you to Gen 5. This is definitely an unusual occurrence, and after reviewing your account's case notes, I'm seeing our agents' reports and copies of the error they're getting when trying to process your upgrade.
If it's OK with you, I'd like to try upgrading you myself to see if this particular error persists. If it does, I can escalate this to our billing team here at corporate. If it comes to that, I will also credit your account while we work on resolving this for you.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
THANK YOU LIZ!!!!!!
Yes, I would love if you upgrade me... I want the 50g plan and I want to lease the new equiment.
Im still pretty frustrated that Hughes does not have a way to escalate a consumer problem on the phone, and leaves a person to have air their problems in a public forum until it causes someone to care enough to help.
