The look of the home page.

Why is the home page so tacky? Some of the ads and fake news look disgusting. I understand the need for sponsors. But these ads and fake news blurbs are ridiculous And it's a visual nightmare. Can't you classy up the home page so I don't feel like I've opened some tacky magazine? I'm embarrassed to have anyone looking over my shoulder at the ridiculous internet provider I pay for. Don't bother to respond here. I won't check back. I'll know you read this when the home page is improved..

    I thought they only said providers can't limit or charge content providers extra for the amount they use, like Netflix. Maybe I need to read the whole thing again.

    "First, for seven years, we prohibit New Charter from imposing data caps or charging usage-based pricing for its residential broadband service. This condition ensures that New Charter will continue Charter’s past pricing practices and protects subscribers from paying fees designed to make online video consumption more expensive leading subscribers to stick with a traditional pay-TV bundle." (Page 4 of this document, No 9).

    Ugh.  I'm still waiting to get a pic of my folks' miniature dachshund puppy.  We got our first snowstorm this weekend, including falling tree limbs due to some crazy wind, so didn't have a chance to get it.

    Using Hughesnet's home page isn't a requirement of the service.   You can use any home page you want.  Is this really something to complain about? 

  • Hi ljnich,

    Thanks for your feedback. Many things are being looked into based off of the response we've gotten from this new update. Can't say we'll specifically make everyone happy with the changes, however everything is being considered.
