To be fairly honest, it sounds like you are on the old Gen4 Ultra plan which is like $90/m...  I personally would not upgrade!  Modem Lease is a bit more expensive, plus a similar plan will cost a good chunk more.  Add on that you might end up on the same satellite, it's just not worth it to upgrade in your situation. Right now, I would say both satellites are evenly balanced in areas that have access to both. ... View more

Yes, you are supposed to use that link on a device while connected to your Hughesnet modem... If you have an HN9000 or HN7000... the URL will probably be different. ... View more

Gen4 had its fair share of outages as well, as has Spaceway3... This issue is different from past issues... When the last outage occured, signal was lost entirely.  We are seeing intermitten signal loss with this outage, so most likely, a different issue has occured. ... View more

Hrm... Not sure... I am on SDO 066....  I know Mark is on SDO068 (i think~!), not sure about everyone else. I do know this, packet loss and website load times are increasing at at an alarming rate... ... View more

@MrBuster I had sent you a PM... Anyways, my signal has been ALL over the place since yesterday starting at approximately 8:00PM Eastern.  It seemed stable most the night, but this morning, it's all over. ... View more

Just an FYI, Win10 doesn't fully shut down by default.  That's right, clicking "Shut Down" doesn't do a full shutdown like it did in the past. https://www.howtogeek.com/349114/shutting-down-doesnt-fully-shut-down-windows-10-but-restarting-it-does/ Almost no modern devices perform a full shutdown anymore, most all of them remain in some form of sleep or hibernation, allowing for the network interface to generate traffic. ...

Not sure why Hughesnet would need to cancel the contract out for you... Sling TV has stated on their website the following.   What internet speed do I need to stream Sling TV? Constant speed of 3.0 Megabits per second (Mb/s) or more - Streaming video content on portable devices such as tablets or phones Constant speed of 5.0 Mb/s or more - Single stream of video content on a TV, PC, or Mac Constant speed of 25 Mb/s or more - Recommended for households that maintain internet usage on multiple devices   If your internet service provider (ISP) has a cap on your data, it's a good idea to keep an eye on your usage while streaming.    Hughesnet states that they offer speeds that are UPTO 25Mbps, and in the contract it states that speeds are not guaranteed.  It is unlikely you will see consistent speeds of 25Mbps or more for the entire duration of a show during prime-time hours for your beam, which is when you most likely will be wanting to use the device. Add on, that at 25Mbps (if you could sustain that) will consume approximately 10GB per hour, which would wipe your data out, fast. Also, devices that are "off" aren't always off, usually they are in a sleep state, which can still allow them to access the internet and download data.  Sometimes devices like a Satellite TV Box can consume several gigabytes of data in a day, enough to deplete your data allowance in hours.  I imagine a SlingTV box could easily do the same, I know my ChromeCast can consume about 50MB/hour doing absolutely nothing other than sitting there. ...

Because you most likely have areas that are considered exclusive use, the landlord can't prevent installation of the dish, so unlikely the ETF can be waived.  Regardless of what he/she wants, they can't legally prevent installation as the F.C.C. allows residential users to use that space for those objects. However, if LOS can't be established from those areas, or you don't have a porch or patio like area that is exclusive use to you, then chances are the fee can be waived. ... View more

All I know is... This has been around for 2 years now, and it gets REALLY annoying when a proper shutdown isn't performed... Sometimes I get a hard lock on my computer while gaming, and bleh! ... View more

You could still do a good home security system, that isn't cloud-based. Since you are a business customer, if you purchased the Static IP option, you could install a camera system at your home with an NVR to record the video footage.  This system could also send out email alerts to you if motion is detected at certain time periods, and you would be able to remotely access the NVR over your Hughesnet connection. No real data usage at that point, unless you attempt to stream video, or download data from the NVR while you are away from the home. ... View more

@FarNorCal wrote: Since then, they have been attempting to fraudulently bill my American express card over and over. Fail to return any of the equipment?  What about possible Early Termination Fees?  Did you pay your final statement at all? @FarNorCal wrote: They refuse to transfer me, per US Law, to a US based call center for resolution, instead they insist I speak with someone named Tony Gray Care to provide a link to a credible source that has this law (the bill it self) in full detail?  Because I could find no such thing, in fact, I found a nice little fact-check article about your statement saying the opposite.  You might want to read it instead of trying to sound as if you know the "law". https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/foreign-exchange/ @FarNorCal wrote: Their CSR’s are rude, uneducated, and barley able to communicate in English!  Don't think I need to say anything about that... @FarNorCal wrote: They auto dial my home and cell phone all hours of the day and night often times with no one on the other end.

As far as I know... Residential users can not easily switch to a business plan and get Static IP addressing... Hughesnet doesn't recomend residential users to use business plans due to costs. ... View more

Hrm, as far as will it work... Yes, and no, depending on a few variables. If you are wanting to be the GM, (host) then it will depend partially on how well the software handles 600-1200ms latency, as well as your service type.  Residential users all sit behind a shared IP, thus, port-forwarding isn't possible.  To be able to host, and port forward, you *must* be an SME (business) customer with port forwarding purchased at the time of sign up. If another player in your group is able to be GM, or you don't mind never being a GM, then the game *should* work just fine as you would be connecting out to the host instead of being the host.  However, as stated earlier, this depends on how well the game handles latency. ...

After looking closer at the image, that is in fact a real message from Hughesnet... You may want to make sure your billing information is up to date through both DTV and Hughesnet, as Hughesnet has apparently marked your account for having inaccurate payment information. ... View more

IF, IF, Hughesnet finally fixed the messages system, you will occasionaly get a popup, or a redirect when a payment is past due, and your credit/debit card information has expired. The following things can cause a card to no longer be valid. 1: If an expiration date has been reached. 2: If the security code on the back of your card is no longer the same. 3: If your financial institution has blocked the charge. I wouldn't click the links nor call that number, but would do the following to ensure my card information is accurate. 1: At the top of this website go to My Account 2: Click on Account Information on the pop-down 3: Under Payment Type at the bottom click on Update This will allow you to re-enter your information, if these messages are from hughesnet, it may take 24 to 48 hours before the system stops generating those popups. ...
