Watching Movies

Am I the only one that has trouble watching movies without interruptions.  My internet speeds I assume are the problem. A movie stops about every two minutes.  Then downloads another two minutes. Anyone know how to fix this?  Or is Hughes just a poor choice for service.

    No, you're not the only one.  Streaming has been deprioritised so as to give priority to people working and studying from home during the pandemic.

      What's terrible is the huge numbers of people dying of COVID-19.   So you can't stream movies. Big deal. Be happy you're alive.

      Perhaps you should start a new topic in the appropriate section to get help for whatever the issue is.  If the issue is streaming, not much can be done about that, as more important activities has been given priority during the pandemic.

  • I thought I had had the worse with Xfinity.  Hughesnet is the absolute worse internet service I have ever had!

      Xfinity is terrestrial internet; Hughesnet is satellite internet.  Two different things.  People's experiences with their ISPs vary widely. Xfinity, Hughesnet, Viasat, Cox, etc., work fine for many people, not so well for others, and don't work for others.

      If you have tech or account issues you need address in this tech support community, start a new ticket under the appropriate section.  For idle commentary, try social media.
