About C0RR0SIVE

GabeU & CORROSIVE; I want to thank you for all of your help and insight! I totally get it now. Hughes Net upgraded to Gen5, and now they only offer Gen5 plans. So, I guess that I've been getting myself all upset for nothing. I feel so much better now that there are no conspiracies going on within the company. LOL. Also, the fact that I am not being singled out is a weight lifted from my shoulders. I pronounce this case officially closed! I am so glad that y'all cleared that up for me. Thank you very much, and God Bless! Respectfully, jr.firepup ... View more

No, that was henrysj in this thread.  And that was over a week ago, so the call centers must be slow with the whip.  I did eventually receive an emailed survey asking why I had canceled, so that served as good enough proof for me.   Understood about wanting the modem back to test it out.  When I had read "replacement" I was thinking that included "upgrade" (Gen4/5), which made less sense. ...

Good morning Haroldo,   I'm so glad to hear this, thank you for sharing what you did before the system started working normally for you, I'm sure our engineers are interested in hearing this so I'll pass this up to them. We're already working on a software update for the modem to address this issue so that disabling UPnP won't be necessary in the future.    Please don't hesitate to drop by the community again if you have additional concerns.   ...

While it is possible, its just not practical. This cracked me up.  It's a good analogy for HD, although I personally don't see much difference between LD and HD, or maybe it just doesn't matter to me.  🙂  LD works just fine. ... View more

I tried doing this but my wired HP printer will not work. It needs to work via DHCP. When I enable that setting in my airport settings I can print. I disabled the wifi settings on the Gen5 modem. Do I need to do something else? I have my printer and the Gen5 going into my time capsule then connect to my mac. ... View more

Yikes, those winds are crazy, stay safe! Glad to hear that the HughesNet service is doing better after the site visit, thank you for your update. We'll be here if you need us.   ... View more

@Ricky wrote: I just checked that settings and it was already off. Not sure if they changed that setting default or not.   Thanks for the tip! That's VERY good.  That setting alone can use so much data.  Perhaps enough people complained that Microsoft actually did something decent for once and changed the default setting.  For them to basically use our bandwidth to share updates with everyone on the net was quite ridiculous.     Edit:  BTW, I updated my Windows 10 laptop the other evening, and though it was only about 100MB, it went VERY quickly.  With Gen4 this most likely would have taken quite some time.  I'm beginning to think more and more that Gen5 is definitely making a difference with Microsoft updates.     ...

Hi emc1981navy,   Welcome to the community and thanks for posting.  I pulled up your account and I do see that the account has been terminated, but for some odd reason the lease return kit was not automatically shipped out as it's supposed to. Let me take care of those unreturned equipment fees for you first before looking into getting that return kit sent so you can ship your equipment back to us. I do apologize for this, we'll get this taken care of for you.   Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.       ... View more

Rhobo55, Just an FYI...  The Hughesnet Moderators and Employees that monitor this site are part of the same group that handles B.B.B. and F.C.C. and many other 3 letter acronym complaints.  You will recieve the same response in the time alloted by the respective agencys from Hughesnet. Thanks, C0RR ... View more

To be honest... The Gen4 SmartBrowse, and Gen5 FAP are essentially the same thing...  I strangely, have never had my meter show SmartBrowse in any state what so ever, even though I have smartbrowse.  I suspect we wont see the term "SmartBrowsing" used for much longer since if a Gen4 user wants a larger or smaller bucket they kind of have to upgrade to a Gen5 service plan. ...

"If you stop and think about it"   Well, that'd require not only stopping,but also thinking.  I can't do both at the same time....   I think another facepalm is in order, plus a forehead-to-desk maneuver.  i may need a medic.   Cheers, @C0RR0SIVE! ... View more

@C0RR0SIVE wrote: I think any time when someone calls that deals with billing related matters (suspension, reactivation, plan changes, and cancelation) the rep has to talk to the primary account holder even if you are listed as an authorized person. Adding others to the account mostly just makes it possible for those people to go through the troubleshooting process when the system is acting up, or setting up service technician visits. That's what I was thinking.  Adding someone just allows them to call and address non sensitive things, whereas any time the more sensitive areas of the account, especially things that affect billing, need to be addressed the primary account holder (couldn't think of that term) is required.   Let me add, though, that this is only speculation.      ...
