Living in a rural area leaves little choice for internet providers. Hopefully, politicians will fight to make internet access a fundamental right and regulate it like radio and power. Until then, pre...
You're response is incredibly hostile. My entire post is an opinion. I am under no obligation to provide evidence for any of my claims, just as you have provided no evidence for any of your claims. You accuse me of making unsubstantiated claims, then you respond with unsubstantiated claims. Do you see that?
When I bought my plan, it was specifically advertised as a 50Gb plan. Not a 20Gb plan with bonus bandwidth overnight. I see they no longer advertise this on their website. As a matter of fact, there is no pricing at all for the consumer plans. "No hard data limits" are advertised on their website, despite the fact that your throughput is throttled when you use a set amount of data. How would you define "hard data limit"?
I'm an Engineer specializing in networked factory automation. I'm familiar with the bandwidth resources available on the market. There is no valid reason to throttle bandwidth to a private home other than to extract more money from the family living there. You may not be an employee, but you are definitely shilling for a business that you have no vested interest in. Why would you do that? What do you gain from your shilling and hostility?
I stand by everything in my post. Your response added nothing to the conversation.
His response addressed everything you publicly opined, one by one, with clear, accurate facts, not opinion.
If that's being hostile, perhaps you have a problem with your incorrect opinions being publicly corrected with accurate statements.
He provided no documentation to support his claims, he just said the opposite of what I sad. He quoted no qualifications that would lead me to believe he was an expert in this particular matter, or on technology in general. Please feel free to point out the facts he used to supposedly refute my opinion and provide the documentation to back up your assertion. Nothing in my earlier message claimed anything I said was a fact. Please read through my message again and point out where I said any statement was an undeniable fact and not an opinion based on my personal experience. Do I need to label everything I write with a caution label like those white pouches in beef jerky packages?
And why are people shilling for a company that's not paying you a salary, and is charging you money every month? Is hughes.net a cult or a religion or something? What Am I missing.
I look forward to reviewing the documentation you or the other poster provide to prove my opinion wrong. I would also like some information on why you think it is your duty to protect a company that is monetizing an essential service?
I look forward to looking at your angry face when we produce the same amount of documentation you provided.
We owe you nothing and you are free and welcome to believe any other of your fairy tales that your heart desires.
Have a nice day.
You just paraphrased, "I know you are, but what am I?" Where to begin... You can in no way give me permission. By saying that, you imply that you are somehow superior. This is a narcissistic trait. Same with "your fairy tales". The final "have a nice day" - passive aggressive. You're into an obscure branch of amateur radio, which fits. Your age makes you a boomer, which shocked me not at all. Serious question - are you divorced?
And who are "We"? Are you aligning yourself with Hughes.net, or maratsade (a interesting reference to a German play from 1963)
Neither of you answered my questions. To begin with, I'm not sure why you reacted so strongly to someone having a negative opinion about a company neither of you work for, or have any reason to defend. That doesn't seem odd to you? Between the two of you, you've made 10,000 posts here.
I would love to chat more, but you guys are obviously busy being Hughes Hero's. Your comments have anchored my post, so it's less likely to be moderated. Let's see how many people agree with me. That will be fun.
