internet price
I just wrote a whole letter and it disappeard I was complaining about how they said I had to buy the equipment, then found out later , like 3 or 4 days that I could have rented it. They then said I...
Regarding the data, they can only make an educted guess. If you use more or less than that guess, that doesn't mean they lied to you. I means you're using more or less than their guess. If you'd like help to figure out why you're using so much data, while apparently doing things that aren't very data intensive, please post in Tech Support for that particular issue.
The reps will help you with your cost issue. No HughesNet plan, however, costs $15. The lowest cost internet only plan is $49.99 per month.
you didn't pay attention any more than they did. I said the first month of $15, was because they gave me credit for the first month of my $300 . Then they claimed I couldn't rent it due to my credit which I already went over you with. So the next month they charged the $49. Also I found out the first month they reset your data limits so you get more data. They never explained anything to me about that. The lady that told me to write here excplained that. They also lied about my credit. They sent me a letter stating my credit wasn;t anygood. I called them and he said I had got that by mistake. Whatever you want to hear they tell you. I checked on 3 of my credit reports, there had been no inquiries for over a year. I've never streamed or whatever you call it, never downloaded movies, when I told them what I did they said this would be plenty of data. I'm more concerned about alll their lies. You say they didn't lie well look at all the redcorded phone calls in order and you will see where and how they did it.

First, there was nothing to pay attention to in your original post concerning what I wrote, because you didn't explain what you did in this post. You said nothing about a credit for $300, nor why your first month was $15. You only stated that you were charged "$15 something the first month."
Secondly, I said nothing about whether HughesNet's sales reps lie. I said they made an educated guess about your data usage based on what you told them, which your usage habits and/or device data usage didn't match. That's not a lie. It's an educated guess based on your stated usage habits, and which your usage habits and/or device data usage didn't match.
No, hessy41, YOU didn't pay attention. Perhaps you should have.
Lastly, my initial response contained nothing more than factual information, and was presented in a "civil" manner. You're just angry, so you took it in a way in which it was clearly not intended.
ok, I'll give you that, I was very angery. You would have been too if you went thru what I have been going thru. I know you talk about just the internet price but it goes so much deeper than that. I understand the explanation of the gigabytes, however, you spell it. I don't understand why they give you extra by resetting the first month and then you think you have more usuage then you have. this info came from the lady that called and talked to me about the bad rating I gave the company What I want somebody to do is to listen to the phone conversations and see how their stories change. Like the credit problem. I know I have good credit but that's not the point. first they tell me I do. Then they tell me I don't just so they don't have to give my $300 back in credit. any way. Please just have someone pull my files or whatever you do and listen to the conversations. All the way thru, all of them. Thanks One more for instance. Then I'll quit. Take the good credit bad credit thing. First I had good credit to get the internet, then I kept good credit with one guy and changed it to rental with the $300 I paid for the equimpment to apply to my montly statement. The $15 was with the credit applied for the first month. I understand. Then I get a letter stating I had bad credit. I called and that person said I got it by mistake, Then when they charged me the normal $49 I called and after much arguing she said it was because of bad credit. I'm just trying to point out how inconstitant they are; You call and you never know what they will say. So I hope you understand that better now. Like I said, please just look at the calls . Thank you Sorry I was so snotty the first couple of times.
What exactly would you like the company to do, hessy41?
I'm sure Amanda or Liz can check your account notes and provide some help, but it would be a good idea if you stated your expectations clearly. Right now you are just stating what happened.
*I am not a Hughesnet employee or representative. This is a customer-to-customer tech support community, and I am a customer.
I just want to get out of this contract because the company is built on lies, if you read my note all through you would see that. I guess you did read most of it. At least you responding more civil. any way I want out of the contract without paying any fees. That's the bottom line.
Hello Hessy41, I am so sorry to hear about your experience with our service so far. With all this different information from the agents you have spoken to I can completely understand the confusion you must be having, and I will be more than happy to help you.
1) I will have your sales call reviewed to determine what was discussed. If you visit our plans and pricing page here, you can see that our lowest package starts at $49.99 before equipment and taxes are charged. If you were to purchase the equipment for $449.99, you would only be billed for the service plan you chose with no taxes.
2) As for the data usage on your account, since it is only your second month with our service you may not be used to how our data allowance works and that's okay! Throughout our community, we have articles made by customers like yourself that provides detailed information on how to adjust your data usage and manage your monthly allowance. We at HughesNet can only provide an educated guess as to how much data you will consume in your household; if you deem it necessary we will always be happy to provide you with a higher data package to accommodate your needs.
3) I do apologize for the technician placing the modem where you did not want it, sometimes the modem needs to be placed in certain spots in the home for how the satellite dish was installed. I can gladly look into getting the modem moved for you if that is something you still want.
As always, if you need any help with your data management or your bill, please don't hesitate to reach out again and we will be happy to assist you!
wondering if you have any news. It has been a week . Just asking.
I have written 2 letters explaining how Hughes Net has lied to me from the very beginning to two days ago. They said I had good credit or something to that effect and would be glad to sign me up. First they said I needed to buy the equipment. Later when I found out I could rent the equipment, I called back and of course put me on hold and came back and said, yes your credit is good and since you just started, we can switch you over to rent. What did I want them to do with the $300. They said they could return it or credit each months account which I said to do. The first month it was credited. The second month I was charged. I called back the girl gave me all kinds of excuses, finally put me on hold and came back and said I had bad credit. In between time, I had got a letter from Hugh's Net state I had bad credit. I called on that and the guy said, it as sent to me by mistake. Evidently that was a lie, or they all are lying about my credit just to get out of renting the equipment to me. I;m past that. They wore me down. They lied about how much data I get. Found out the first month they reset it so it looks like you have more data. That info came from the lady I talked to who told me to write to you people. Then this month, i almost ran out. It's just been one lie after another and I want out of this contract. I cannot work with people who lie everytime you ask a questions. Also I talked to a supervisor and she was very rude. Also I have a terrible time understanding any of these people. None of them talk very good. They give their name so fast you can't understand it. When you tell them to slow down, they do for one sentence and then it's back to full speed. You can respond under hessy41 as I don't see where to put it. Also my Ser. # DSS36333964 of my radio. That is another thing, the guy that installed my router put it clear back in the utility room between the wall and the dryer. I can hardly get to it without moving things. I ask him to put it in the middle bedroom but he wouldn't do it. I just want to get out of this contract and go on with my life, It is upsetting me very much and it gives me "Afib attacks" If I'm not careful, I will end up in the hospital.
