Absolutely Useless.
I have had HughesNet for close to a year now, and have been disappointed with it from day one. I just work so dang much that I haven't had the time to do this until now. Simply put, it just doesn't d...
The 30GB plan offers the equivalent of 45 hours of DVD quality video, not HD video. For HD video, it's more like 15 hours, or around seven two hour movies, like you said you watch.
If you'd like help, I suggest that you start a new topic in Tech Support. If you just wanted to vent, you succeeded.
It's unfortunate that, with the small amount of time you have available to you, you chose to rant/vent rather than utilize this support community for which it is intended, which is support.
- It's true. It's total crap.
And what would be your issues with the system, Beluesky? Any details you'd like to share? Anything people can do to improve your system? Or are you just bleating for bleating's sake? Wrong place for that, may want to try the herd's social media bleating locations. This is a tech support site.
Beluesky whined:
It's true. It's total crap.I feel that, like with so many other forums, when subscribers sign up to the Community they should have to read, and agree to, a concise version of the Community Guidelines/Rules, with the first part stating that this Community is for Support, as its title implies, and it is NOT social media. And, though a place for things other than support, the General section, like the rest of the Community, it is still not meant for rants or venting. There are other places on the net for that sort of thing.
Perhaps the Community powers that be should think about implementing something like that. The Community can still be an inviting place to get, or even give, help without having those sorts of posts/replies. They help no one.

Is there a place to just vent on this community forum?
I've heard a few people say that the forum isn't a form of social media which is interesting since it is actually just that. However, I think over time the term "social media" has morphed into only specific apps or websites.
social media: noun, websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

The purpose of this community is SUPPORT. If people want to vent, they should do it elsewhere. So, the answer to your question is no.
As for this particular section, which we requested to be added, if you want to consider it social media, have at it. Regardless, like the rest of the community, it's not a a place to vent. If people would like to do that, they can use 'traditional' (happy?) social media and vent to their heart's content.
- General Discussion A place to chat about tech or tech-related topics and just have fun. :) *NOT FOR HUGHESNET SUPPORT* So by the description there, this isn't a place for SUPPORT. Forums are the 'traditional' social media... they were around before Instagram, Facebook, etc., etc., etc. But ok. We can disagree, no problem. Back to "happy" things...
"social media: noun, websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking."
You're right, that's what social media is. And this community is not social media, as it is not for enabling users to create and share content nor to participate in social networking. And it's definitely not for venting. If you would like to vent, go to social media (Facebook, Twitter, and the like).

I was waiting for your reply.
