Is this the worst internet company ever?
I had to go to HughesNet because I had no other options when I bought a new house in the country. I was warned it would be bad but it is horrific. We almost never get good service and even when I buy ...

HughesNet calling themselves an internet provider has to be against government regulations. They do NOT provide internet service. I pay for Netflix etc and with HughesNet you can almost never watch a show. And then if you want to add more bandwidth it costs a fortune and I am sure that wouldn’t work together. This is a complete scam. Unfortunately I have no other options after I bought a house in the country. Can some real internet company please help?!?!?!?!
>>HughesNet calling themselves an internet provider has to be against government regulations.
They are an internet service provider, whether you're happy with them or not. In fact, they're consistently rated the top satellite internet service provider.
>>They do NOT provide internet service.Yes, they do. They provide satellite internet service. This technology is different than terrestrial cable, and while it's very goood, it has limitations due to the nature of satellite communications.
>>I pay for Netflix etc and with HughesNet you can almost never watch a show.
Maybe you should discontinue your membership and watch DVDs instead.
>>And then if you want to add more bandwidth it costs a fortune and I am sure that wouldn’t work together.
Might work, or might not. One thing is certain: your ranting will not in any way solve your issues. Try posting the actual issues in a calm post, and someone will help you figure out how to solve them.
>>This is a complete scam.No, actually it is a legitimate ISP that works well for many of us.
>>Unfortunately I have no other options after I bought a house in the country.
You could always sell the house and move to a place that has terrestrial cable. There are always options.
>>Can some real internet company please help?!?!?!?!Hughesnet is a real company. If you'd like some other company to come service your area, contact the local authorities and ask them to bring in terrestrial cable.
If you want help, consider dialing down the hysteria and letting people help you maximise your network.
