    My repoint to ES17 is done.  Promising for sure.

     

    As speeds can always go up and down on a whim, I will ride this for a week ro two before I say it is fixed for sure but apepars we should be good to go.

     

    Before the installer came over I had a about 1Mbps down.... and after, they are 24 and 17Mbps so far.

     

    What appears to have suffered in the switch back to ES17 is uploads so far.  I was getting better 2Mbps before the installer came over and now getting between 800K and 1Mbps.  I can live with that.  ;-)  

     

    So... so far so good.  Thanks Hughes for getting things back on track.

I don't want a refund- I just want someone to waive the $955 cancellation fee and we can both just walk away from this mess. However, my experiences with Hughesnet over the last 12 years lead me to think that they will never do that. They're just not that type of company. 

If you work with them through here in trying to resolve the problem, and it still is not resovled, depending on the level of the problem they will sometimes allow people to cancel without an ETF.  No guarantees, of course, but you have to work with them.

You don't get to be the worst rated ISP in the history of the internet by actually doing things for your customers. 

Hughesnet isn't, and never has been, rated as such.  You might want to improve your research.

    Rather than posting your test results on someone else's thread, you shout put them on the one you started.  The one where Amanda asked you for test results, and asked you other questions.  

     

    Quit screwing around and start doing what is asked of you to address your issue.

    Great, now why don't you quit screwing around and work on fixing your issue.  Trying to explain to you why unsolicited reviews need to be taken with a HUGE grain of salt would be a waste of my, your, and the OP's time.  You should just stick with working on your issue (which, at this point, is becoming evident that you really don't want to and are here to troll).
