"When a consumer is not getting the service promised and notifying customer support does not alleviate the situation then the only recourse is to complain."
Indeed, but complaining in the wrong place is a waste of time for the customer.

Thanks for your response in support of complaints. I love the response I got from their tech staff indicating that they didn't promise 25Mbps (just like the commercial), only that they meant "UP TO". A game of semantics is what they play so well. If you use the term "UP TO" then the logical extension to the term would be, "any value from ZERO to 25 Mbps". I was getting really close to zero in my speed tests which would confirm their actual promise. A startup is starting a new satellite in Jan. 2018 which I am close to seriously consider as an alternative to Hughesnet if this community stream is their new customer service.

If that startup is OneWeb, then, well, you will be back with Hughes, as Hughes is designing the terminals, and most of the infrastructure for said startup.

ViaSat2 From Wikipedia: ViaSat-2 is a commercial communications satellite launched June 1, 2017. Once in service in early 2018, it will be the world's highest capacity communications satellite with a throughput of 300 Gbit/s, succeeding EchoStar XIX launched in December 2016.[2] It is the second Ka-band satellite launched by ViaSat after ViaSat-1. The satellite will provide satellite internet through Exede Internet to North America, parts of South America, including Mexico the Caribbean, and to air and maritime routes across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.[1]

Just for info, no one who's posted in this topic so far is a HughesNet employee, all customers. Employees have a little rectangular black background "mod" or "employee" badge beside their screen name.
