Curious, how long does Hughesnet typically hold sales call recordings? ... View more

Not sure how it was nasty, then again, I guess flat out answering your question, "Number to call and cancel ?" is rude and nasty.  Guess you don't like being questioned for what a Rep should look for in a sales call then? If you don't want public responses, then I strongly urge you to create a private topic, that's what they are for. ... View more

How exactly was you lied to grenadieroutdoors and when?  During your sales call?  As far as data, only a potential customer can have any idea of whether 5GB, 10GB, 20GB or even 50GB is enough for them...  As far as tokens, that isn't on Hughesnet, nothing they can do about customers purchasing $150+ worth in tokens. If you do wish to cancel, call 866-347-3292, please remember to return the modem, power adapter, and radio located on the dish otherwise you may face additional unreturned equipment fees.  If you purchased your equipment (unlikely you did...), then you don't need to worry about returning it. ...

At least you aren't Barb... As for the change, I agree!  Many jobs around here will pay ONLY with a work issued pay card, which results in stupid fees to transfer money from that to a bank account...  I assume these cards might also be blocked from use.  Rather annoying not to accept such payments. No, I don't have that situation as it's another family member with a credit card making payments, but if I was making the payments, I would be increasingly upset over the hassle of having to re-open a bank account just to pay one bill with a debit card. ...

So, kinda like I thought, it has been mentioned forever on the instructions, but not an absolute requirement.  That's really good to hear.  Thanks for the info Amanda! ... View more

I would hope that it's a non-issue thing, because I know I don't have those cables anymore. ... View more

...really?  I would certainly hope that's misinformation, even though the guide I think says to return it.  That's something that can go bad at any time and people will usually throw it out after buying a new one.  I would certainly hope the penny pinchers aren't fussing over a $0.0001 cable. ...

Hughesnet can usually provide service anywhere in the country unless the landlord has rules that prohibit a dish being installed.  I would say yes, if service can't be used in the location, then they will waive the ETF.  However, remember if service is cancelled, you must return the modem, power brick, and radio on the dish. ...

Pretty sure that installers have to upload a configuration file for the beam assignment for the modems, plus the ODU tends to be locked to the modem in my limited experiences.  I know the modems I have, when I have gone to install/re-install them, when it comes to beam selection, has only ever listed the beam I am under. ...

Actually, no where in the contract does it state that you can move service any time you want, it does state that you are bound to arbitration though. The only system where one could freely move around on is the HN7000 system, which required the user to have some knowledge of installing and pointing a dish if they wanted to relocate frequently.  The HN9000, HT1000, and HT1100 are not easily moved because they are dependent upon beam, and all service plans for those units, depend heavily upon geographical location in amount of data available, as well as costs. But, Hughesnet does offer a service where someone can freely move service, once, during the contracted time. If you feel you was misled by a sales rep, then Amanda, Chris, or Liz can pull your sales call if it was done via official sales channel to verify your story.  If you was misled about service, you may be able to terminate with out an ETF. ...

When you say "wifi keep shutting down" do you mean your wireless device disconnects from the wifi, then comes back when you turn on a wired machine?  Sounds like the wireless radio on the router could be dieing if that's the case.   ... View more

kberget, If you was lied to during sign up, you can request a sales call review here, and if found in your favor, typically have cancelation fees waived...  The sales rep is required to mention and explain the data caps (seeing as all service plans are based on data cap amounts), as well as disclaimers for streaming, gaming, and the contract it self. ...

One thing I want to point out, I have noticed with HT series equipment, it doesn't mind DRY snow much what so ever, but when you get wet heavy or slushy snow, it just goes downhill, fast.   Also, ice, it really screws with the signal... ... View more

No point in running a reinstall process as the modem deregisters it self, and want's to talk to the NOC to re-register...  So zero signal means it won't be talking. If you live in an area where snow can be heavy, I highly suggest a dish heater to help melt the snow. ... View more

They updated a lot...  Was announced awhile back that there was gonna be a few changes. ... View more

I would be more worried about branches falling off the tree from snowfall than the snow it self... ... View more

I think FIA Ranch looked at the wrong part of the label... Only the output is listed as 46w...  They should have focused on the input side since there is a loss of power going from AC to DC... ... View more

Honestly, it will depend...  With you being off-grid you shouldn't depend on the "average" power usage, but the possible highest usage as well so that you don't overload your personal grid, unless you can predict when the signal will drop out and the modem ramps up transmission power and processing to try and keep a signal lock. The label on the power brick states (at least on mine) Input at 100-130V @ 2.0A (which at maximum theoretical value is 260w), and the output is listed as 46w. The only time these modems will use a TON of power is during heavy cloud cover, rain, and when it's acquiring a signal after being powered on, so you may want to plan for possible high wattage surges during those scenarios. Power usage also depends upon how well your satellite is aimed, as well as general location in your beam assignment. ... View more

So, when you gonna delve into PFSense? 🙂 Logon Page: Main Page: Shows everything at a glance, from traffic stats and real time traffic, to system activity. Monitoring, lets you view pretty much anything from CPU/Memory usage, to latency and throughput in many different intervals. DHCP Leases: Comes in handy when you are trying to find someone snooping on your network if you register DHCP leases in the ARP tables. Firewall Rules: Little difficult to setup, but once you figure it out, it dawns on you how simple it can be. Gotta love local proxy cache and being able to blacklist anything you dislike. Traffic monitoring.  This is a bit more detailed than the system monitor, it's an addon package. Gotta love when people visit bad websites. 🙂 ... View more
