If Netflix, best to set to low definition as explained here: Netflix Playback Setting
If YouTube, as soon as video starts use the gear icon to change definition to 360p or 244p, do not leave on auto or higher resolution. The 244p setting should look fine on smaller devices.
If any other streaming site, do not use if there is no adjustment for video definition that at least allows 360p or lower.
I don't know they keep offering to have someone call me about getting out of the contract but no one ever calls. I have been trying since after the first month. They are scumbags they're not interested in helping people I think they rely on that early termination fee to stay in business and claim they never got the equipment back so they can get the money for that as well.
I have never hated a company more than hughesnet other than the USPS
I called today to cancel my service with Hughes. This is the worst internet and phone service I have ever had in my entire life. What I was told to get me to sign up was a total lie because I am still paying as much as I was previously and the phone and internet goes down if the weather is a little bad. That is not good if you have someone in the house that is handicapped and may need medical attention at any time. Had a different internet and phone installed today from a reliable company and then called Hughes to cancel my service. Of course I had to pay a early termination fee of $370 which is totally wrong in my opinion and paid over $300 when I signed their stupid contract a year ago. To top that off they will not stop my service untill my due date of the 26th. Had nothing but trouble out of this for the last year. Slow internet even when my time starts new and slowly gets worse. Will stop now because just writing about Hughes makes me angry and upset. God help those cheating people.
