Right now the system is under incredible strain with all of the extra traffic due to so many people being home and relying on it. Because of this, many things will take longer to do, and streaming may be difficult. However, you should still be able to get online and perform at least basic activities without much trouble.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "it's not working at all"? Are you not able to get online in any way? Can you not even get to something like google.com?

Nothing is working. Absolutely nothing. I can’t get it to do anything. Netflix. Hulu. YouTube. Nothing. It buffers for a long time before I get some connection error.
If you wish to stream videos all day I suggest you move a the city.
If you are talking about my comment. I didn't mean to offend you. IMHO satelite internet will never meet most peoples needs. Streaming is a feature that will slow your internet to the point of not working.
Are you using your HughesNet service to post here or some other form of internet access?
You keep mentioning streaming/video services, so I'm trying to clarify whether it's actually that nothing is working, as in your HughesNet is completely down and no internet access is possible, or if the issue you're experiencing is primarily with streaming/video.
Are any of the lights on your modem?

Sir I don’t know how much clearer I can get when I say absolutely nothing is working. The system keeps telling me no internet connection. I have a cellular device that also allows me to be on the internet without WiFi which is what I’m using to post here.
Thank you for that clarification.
Preferably with a LAN cable connected device, are you able to get to this modem page ? If so, what do you see listed for a State Code in the System Summary box near the top of the page. Also, what do you see listed for the Satellite Receive Signal Strength in the WAN Info box on the lower left?
