Local technician does not call, cannot get repair appointment!!

We have not had internet service since March 31 - today is   April 9.   I received case no. 103346446 after several technical support calls, where tests were run and it was determined that our satellite dish needed adjustment.   I was told on April 1 someone would call within 24 to 48 hours.   I called Tech Support last week to report that I had not even received a return phone call from local technician, and was given a telephone number to call. That number reaches an answering service, where a nice lady told me she would notify Dave to call me.  HughesNet said "Dave" had been contacted also.  I called the answering service several times last week to say that I had not even received a return call!   Finally HughesNet gave me a phone number for the Distributor, whom I called on April 7.  They offered me the same answering service number that I had been calling!  I told them that was not working, and the woman said she'd contact Dave by email to tell him to call me.    I need to set up an appointment so that I can be home when the technician finally arrives for the repair, and I cannot get the courtesy of even a telephone call!!!    I am so frustrated with the run around!  Is there only one technician for the Spokane/Cheney area?   Does Dave even exist, and if so, why can't he return a phone call to set up a repair appointment??   We have been without service for 11 days now.  This is totally unacceptable!

Correction:   we have not had service since March 29.   HughesNet tech support ran tests on March 30, 31 and April 1.

Hughes Net:   if you reply, please respond to my AOL address.  Since I am without internet service, I am posting this at Starbucks.  My AOL email will go to my smart phone.  Thank you!!!!

Agreed, this is unacceptable.  One hopes Dave is alive and well somewhere in the Spokane/Cheney area and that he hasn't lost his phone.

Did you run a Google search to see if there were other Hughesnet contractors in your area? I'm hoping Dave isn't the only one.

 

@Lizor @Amanda may be able to light a fire under Dave's caboose, or provide you with the number for another installer.
