Gen 4 gaming no problem other than latency, but Gen 5? Forget about it, no way, no how
OK, I have been a VERY satisfied customer of Hughesnet for a few years now, that was Gen 4, I have played a few games for years on Facebook, and a Tankionline.com with little or no issue, I was a very happy customer and referred Hughesnet to friends and neighbors. I live in the country, so sattelite internet and tv are my only option, no fios or xfinity here for at least the next 5 years or more. I called about my bill being high one month and was told about "GEN 5", I thought wow faster speeds, more data, less money this is great. So they come out install the new HT2000W modem, reposition my dish, have me sign some paperwork and leave. What a mistake!!! I have spent the last month or more it seems calling "Tech Support" and have spent several hours on the phone trying to understand what their outsourced tech support people are saying. Twice I got someone who knew what they were doing and it worked for 2 or 3 days, then it was back to games not loading, and servers disconnecting. PLEASE Let me have my Gen 4 back!!!!
Hi PoppaJohn,

Hi PoppaJohn,
I'm glad you found the community, thank you for posting. I pulled up your account to run diagnostics on your site and have found that the HughesNet equipment is working normally. Are you only having difficulty connecting to your game? Are your general speeds and internet browsing experience OK?
We'll try to reproduce this error you're seeing in our lab.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Thank You Liz, I have included a screenshot of what I am encountering, I can now get to a community page, but not into a specific game site. Tankionline.com, also "Family Farm" on facebook has caused a few problems also. On one of my calls to tech support the girl knew what the problem was it seemed and quickly rest something and it worked, though somewhat grainy graphics, for a couple of hours before coming back again.
