Do people no longer understand what a contract is?
I'm floored by the number of people who are angry when they decide to cancel their service before the two year contract is up and then, as they agreed to, are required to pay an early termination fee....

I seriously considered it because of my data usage problems with Gen5
.
Or the people who claim they never signed a contract. Hughesnet, or any company, would not be delivering service to you without a signed contract.
Did the Gen5 upgrade over the phone I'm likely still under contract even though I didn't sign anything .
Contracts run both ways. If Hughes is not doing their part, you should be able to cancel. I imagine there's enough "fine print" to cover them though,
- Agreed. The deal with a contract (peace treaty, trade agreement, etc.) is BOTH sides must do/provide what the contract spells out. When one side violates the contract, the contract is voided (i.e., if you don't pay your bill, Hughesnet doesn't have to keep providing you with service). If you can prove Hughesnet failed to provide what they promised, then indeed you are entitled to some sort of remedy, as specified in the contract and under state and federal law.
