Wow. The nickname seems very apt.... Also, the male has wings, possibly as an evolutionary adaptation that allows him to get away from the female in a hurry.

Cheers, @BirdDog! That's the one I had found. Seems pretty straightformard (or as straightforwards as Windows can get).

Here the spousal unit and I both use Google Drive, but only online. We haven't downloaded the apps so as to avoid the silly syncing.

I don't use OneDrive myself, but I can't seem to be able to disable it. Edit: meaning it's always syncing with the cloud. Does anyone know how to disable it? Edit 2: found something at support.office.com

If you have tech or billing issues, please post them in the Tech Support or myAccount and Billing sections. The section where you posted is not for Hughesnet support and you may not get a response here. Better to post in the right section. Also, this is a customer to customer support site, so it is likely customers will attempt to help you. Many of the customers here are very experienced and knowledgeable, so don't discount their help. *I am not a Hughesnet employee or representative.

Before you attack the company's values, why don't you wait to see if one of the reps here responds to you and offers to help? Recently someone in a similar situation to you was treated very kindly by the company.

"If you’re troubleshooting system problems, you’ll want to perform a full shut down of the kernel to ensure Windows reinitializes things from scratch. To do this, just click the “Restart” option in the menu instead of the “Shut Down” option. Windows restarts your computer, but it performs a full shut down first and discards the state of the kernel while doing so." You learn something every day.

"Why do I do this to myself?" One could suggest a couple of psychiatric theories.... 😉 Notice the message from the universe, delivered in the form of rainspeak. It means: go back to bed, you nutter.

Those devices don't work well with satellite internet due to the inherent latency (the latency is a result of the laws of physics, so it can't be helped). Hughesnet offers their own VOIP service, designed to work with Hughesnet (though some users have reported issues too): https://www.hughesnet.com/get-started/hughesnet-voice

You're not stuck in a contract. You can get out any time, though you may have to pay an early termination fee. If you don't want to pay the fee, then you are choosing to stay in the contract; you are not being forced to stay. If you stay, then you may want to post your technical problems with your system under Tech Support. People will help you maximize your experience. The Hughesnet reps may also chime in, but it's likely they will want you to troubleshoot your system on your end before they can diagnose the problem, if there really is a problem. You may also want to realize that satellite internet is not for streaming or cord-cutting. The technology is very expensive and so broadband is rationed. You as a user need to learn how to budget your ration and you also need to learn how to optimize your netowrk. As for dialup, you'd have a very hard time even getting on the internet -- but hey, have at it. If it takes so long for you to do stuff, it may be because you have exceeded your data allotment. Data is not unlimited with satellite internet. Complaining will not improve your situation, and your dire warnings to stay away from the ISP will not help other people either (many people, including myself and others who post here have been long-time customers and we have a very good experience with the system). You'd do more good being proactive and learning how to manage your network and then helping others to do the same. *I am not a Hughesnet employee or representative.

"When I purchased the service my customer rep said her and her whole family steam videos constantly with no issue. I use Hulu and Netflix on a firestick or a Roku. " I stream videos every so often and have had few, if any, issues. However, I notice the quality is less when I use an intermediary device such as Chromecast or firestick. I have had virtually no problems streaming from a laptop connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. If you are streaming at a time when your beam may be congested (because everyone in the region is home from work and trying to use the bandwidth at the same time), you will see buffering. Satellite internet isn't optimal for streaming, and can provide only a limited amount of bandwidth. It does not work like terrestial cable because the technology is different and has some limitations that are insurmountable with our current technologies.

You may want to start your own thread, and it'd be better if you placed it under My Account and Billing. A rep may answer you here, too, but your post may be addressed faster if it's in its own thread under the right section.

You'd rather pay $1260 for the service ($70 x 18 months), rather than pay the ETF, which would come to less than $400?

Tia, I agree with Mark. It seems that since you have such issues understanding the technology, you may need someone to sit with you in person and help identify and fix the problem. You will need to pay for a Hughesnet tech to come visit you and work on your network. It would save you a lot of time and headaches.

"Someone mentioned that there was a way you could stop the service, and return equipment, keep the account open and wait the 24 months and close account, without paying early termination fine." If your account is OPEN, you will pay a monthly fee, even if you don't use or don't have the equipment. The "someone who mentioned" that you could cheat your way out of paying an ETF was misleading you. How long have you had this account?
