From GabeU Re: Community. Service.  Why would anyone even bother to help you at this point?  When someone actually does to try help you, as in asking questions and steps to be performed to begin troubleshooting your issue, you insult them.  You ask for help and then spit in the face of the first person that attempts to do so.    So, again, I ask, and this is a rhetorical question that doesn't really require your answer, why would anyone even bother to try to help you?  You might want to think about that. From Wudrest I still have not figured out why you are trouble shooting for HughesNet.  Have you ever thought that what you do is insulting?  Why should it require a bunch of tricks to get the internet?  You act like I have never had internet before now.  I know what good service is.  It is not HughesNet!!!! I see your name on here a lot.  I am not the first to gripe about the lack of service.  I am sure you have noticed.  I have been on 5 different providers in the past 2 weeks and NONE of them require me to adjust my equipment. All of them I could watch a video without buffering.  So I ask again, have you ever thought that you implying that what is wrong with my internet conection is the setting on my equipment so offensive to me.  This whole site is rhetorical.  No one cares.  They know you are locked in to the contract. In their adds that describe how megafast it is.  In the contract it plainly says that no speeds are guarenteed.  They know they are conning people with a load of it.  If I can help just one person to not sign that blasted contract then it is worth all of this wasted time. ...

Griping about it on here doen't work either. I thought / hoped it might.  All you will get are reply post from people that "are not MODS" to sugest you do a bunch of smoke and mirror tricks like "please try either pausing or turning OFF the Video Data Saver" "please try a device that is directly connected to the modem with a LAN cable to see if there is any difference. " turn off your router, take some speed tests, reboot your system etc.  I know all I have to do is go into town with my iPad and download a bunch of stuff to watch on a providers system that is interested in service for their community.  Not HughesNet.  Wish I had never heard of this company. ...

Well my actual problem is that HughesNet installed my service incorrectly.  The installer had his speakerphone on.  My wife has called but no results other than increasing my data.  I am positive that the technology exists to get internet in the woods of rural AR. But HughesNet has not shown me they know how faster than dialup speeds. Constant buffering. Only one more year of my contract. Today I am reconnecting to my old internet provider. I don’t live in the house much. Once a week or so. I will just use that as my download day where I will have something to watch when I return to my HughesNet provider.  ... View more

Community service is when you have to pay back to the community for the bad you have done.  I did a bad thing.  I signed a contract with HughesNet.  Now I have to pay for something I did.  I just want to say to my community.  .. don’t do it.  Only for a year more do I have to pay for what I have done.  About $60 a month.   ...

I don’t really understand why you are trouble shooting for HughesNet?  I don’t have to turn off stuff with a real internet provider.  I am positive that the technology exists to get internet in the woods of rural AR.

Proving that Hughes net is as awful as they are with the contract they have would be difficult to show.  They don’t have to provide much.  I am positive that the technology exists to get internet in the woods of rural AR.  But HughesNet has not shown me they know how faster than dialup speeds.  Constant buffering.  Only one more year of my contract.  Today I am reconnecting to my old internet provider.  I don’t live in the house much.  Once a week or so.  I will just use that as my download day where I will have something to watch when I return to my HughesNet provider.   ...

I have never needed any of these tips and tricks with any other internet provider.  When I really want to watch YouTube I take my iPad somewhere with a real internet provider and download hours to watch in minutes.  It is sad that I am paying what I am pay and getting such poor service in return.  But this will end in a year or so. ...

Thanks for your response.  The last thing I want to to is call someone a mod if they are not.  I, like many one here, are dissatisfied with the quality of service here at HughesNet.  I have read extensively on the community forums.  It tends to be a gripe fest.  It is not my style but seems to be the flow of things HughesNet.  My problem is service.  I pay for a service with anticipation of receiving said service.  From day one, we have had high download speeds. 45,  47, I think there was a 75 onetime.  We burn through our data allowance in 8 days and there is no change in the quality of service. It may read 3 MB’s but I can’t tell any difference in performance. YouTube buffers either way.  After reading community forums I did not waste my time with calling in my problems. I got screwed in a contract when it is over I will cancel.  My wife called.  She talked to the first level in the Philippines. Then a second level called and they said a third level would call .  The third level never called.  I live in the middle of nowhere.  I had hopes I could have internet there.  I was wrong.  The day we were connected the new satellite was coming online.  The installer did the best he knew how to do but I was standing beside him when he was talking to control.  The way he hooked it up was incorrect but it was the only way to get any service.  He had another install to do.  Control told him that he had wired it up incorrectly and not to leave it like that.  He told control he had no choice because when he wired it up correctly no signal was found.  We live in a high tech world.  I am telling everyone I know to stay away from HughesNet.  They can’t deliver what they say they can. Sad. Not cool.  Bad form.  HughesNet. ... View more

The technician that installed it installed it wrong. Control center told him not to leave it that way and he told them it was the only way I could get any service. The tech had his phone on speaker.  Oh when I do a speed check it will tell me 45 MB’s. But the service buffers when you watch a YouTube video. I had cable Lynks before I move here. I asked if they could hook me up. Centurytel is in this area but both said they can’t help me. I have Verizon with unlimited data and a signal booster. That seems to my best bet for now. ...

The last call my wife made they were supposed to call her back from another department. We are still waiting on that call. I guess that is just the HughesNet operates. Pass you around til someone drops the ball. Oh wouldn’t that be the installer? No not the installation. I was the one that called and asked for internet service. It was a joint thing with Dish network. I was surprised. I used to think more of Dish. It is not who you are it is who your friends are ... View more
