Sales Call Review
we recently agreed to sign an agreement with Hughesnet after speaking with several salespeople and reading the webpages such as this one below on this page. https://www.hughesnet.com/about/hughes...
Thank you for contacting us. Your grounds for this request are invalid until an actual issue has been determined and documented that conflicts with the information you received on your sales call. There are many things that could be causing slow speeds. Please let me know if you would like me to troubleshoot the service.

invald?
I was told I would get 1 to 3 MBPS and I am not getting even 1 MBPS! Not even 1/2 MBPS.
So telling me I am going to get 1 to 3 MBPS and me not even receiving half of a Megabyte is not grounds for a sales call review?
Who told you that you were going to get 1-3Mbps? This is not a guarantee.
According to the Fair Access Policy, "The speed of the Services may be reduced to as low as or lower than 1 Mbps." (Source:https://legal.hughesnet.com/FairAccessPolicyGen5.cfm)

First, I stated that your "equipment" is fully operational. This refers to the equipment such as your radio transmitter and modem, as these are some of the things diagnostics can tell us. Secondly, your signal quality score is around 98. This is about 13 points above what we consider a great signal quality. The site history profile also shows it has been this way for many months. This eliminates an alignment issue as something relevant to your specific issue.
In order to check the weather, we use an internal tool that determines this by accessing your equipment remotely, as well as AccuWeather for confirmation. Both showed heavy cloud coverage at your location and Gateway. This is why I mentioned it. Your gateway is in San Diego, CA. While this location is usually sunny, it has not been for the past few days and looks like it will continue for a few more. This does not always cause an issue but because the speed tests for your account are not working remotely and there are no apparent equipment issues, it is extremely likely the cloud coverage is the cause for our time outs.
As it stands right now, we have zero proof of your issue without the speed tests requested. I cannot launch an investigation without proof and documentation of your issue, especially if the reason for the sales call review is related to the amount of throttled speed you should be receiving. If you were misinformed about something else, not related to this at all, I could launch the investigation right away. This usually takes a full business week to complete. If this is the case, please provide a detailed explanation of something else you were misinformed on. If you are still planning to provide the speed test results that have been requested, I will be awaiting your results tomorrow and the original procedure will be followed as stated.

The sales rep I spoke with and the webpage as i pointed out earlier. Im getting slower than 256kbps
The webpage says that speeds are "typically" 1-3 Mbps. There is no speed guarantee.
I still think your sales call should be reviewed if it's available.
