Why so rude?
Rudeness has been my experience with HughesNet from the start, with the exception of the guy who installed the sattelite. I've tried to get help many times, was lied to about the service capabilities (and I do have the chat scripts and emails to prove it). I live in a rural area and thought I had done my due dilligence when I decided to try HughesNet. Now I'm stuck with the two year contract and have service that is really only good enough to power ONE Kindle Fire. Even trying to figure out how to cancel and how much it would cost has been a roller coaster. Decide to ride it until the end of the contract so I don't have to deal with the very rude, condescending and outright nasty people in this company. I have had the pleasure of talking down quite a few people in my area from joining their service and will keep on doing so. Also joined the throngs at the Better Business. I do blame myself though. I should have hung up on the representative that I called when I caught her on a lie, but decided to give it a go anyway. Hindsight is 2020...
Several things:
1. Your post belongs under General Discussion, as the section you have posted under is for discussions specifically about this online community, not the service or the company. No biggie, though.
2. How long have you had the service? If it's new enough and you feel the service was misrepresented during your sales call, you can ask for a sales call review. The way it works is, the HN reps here will pull the call, if it's still available, and listen to what was said by you and the rep. If they find the service was misrepresented (and they have in the past), you may have some recourse regarding cost or termination. If you're interested in having your sales call reviewed, you need to go to the myAccount and Billing area and click on the blue "Start a topic" button. Provide the details of the call, especially the areas where you feel you were misled. The reps here will investigate and get back to you via private message.
3. "Also joined the throngs at the Better Business."
If you have initiated a complaint with them (and keep in mind they are in no way a government agency; they are just intermediaries and have no authority whatsoever -- they also give HughesNet their highest rating, A+), then you will need to wait until the company replies to you through the bureau -- you will not get official replies here.
4. Here is the schedule for the costs to cancel:
5. Best wishes and good luck.
