Get a refund?
Anyone know how to get a refund and out from under this awful service. I signed up for HughesNet because the sales person told me that it would be more then enough to run Slingtv or Hulu. Wrong. Hu...
Perhaps someone who has experience with SlingTV or Hulu will have a better idea of what could be going on. It's possible that those services are overly sensitive to the higher latency inherent to satellite internet. It's also possible that live streaming music, though not very data intensive, is sensitive to that latency, as well, and anything at all that affects the service, like checking email at the same time, throws it out of whack because of that sensitivity. After all, streaming live music is not like Youtube or on demand services.
Again, hopefully someone who has more experience with those services, and perhaps even experience with those services while using Hughesnet, will have an idea.
With this said, though, as mentioned by BirdDog, Hughesnet really isn't made for cord cutting. If you feel that the sales person misled you and you signed up directly through Hughesnet (not a reseller), and it's been no longer than 90 days, your sales call may be available for the reps to review and make a determination as to whether you can cancel without an ETF.
As for a refund, though, I have no clue.
