    I received a new phone call last week from Jessica, who had me repeat speed tests and checked on everything. She is an outstanding Rep! She found the same issue, slow speeds and promised to escalate the issue. I then received a voicemail from 4th level? support with a call back number. I just got off the phone with them and they found that it is a beam issue that is being worked on. I was offered a discount for my trouble and told that the beam issue would be fixed as soon as possible. A Tech is also being sent to my house  to repoint my dish, as I was told it is slightly misaligned.

     

    Amanda, thank you for your help with this. I appreciate the customer service HughesNet has provided.

I did the 25mb upload test under the instructions of the HughesNet customer service rep.

 

I am continuing to do speed tests when I can, but since I am almost out of data for the month, I am limited to running tests during the bonus period only now.

Hi trpost60,

 

I see, there are a couple of things from that call that are concerning, and we're going to have it addressed with the agent directly. I will add some data to your token bucket which will apply themselves automatically, bringing you back up to speed. I appreciate you working with us on troubleshooting.

 

Thanks,

Amanda
