I have the same issue. I was speaking with a rep about this the other day and she stopped talking to me! It seems there are certain sites which HughesNet is throttling completely. For me, I cannot access anything related to iCloud (I can text, but cannot send pics, gifs, vids, no iCal, no email, no access the site iCloud.com), Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. Now, I cannot download/upload anything at all. I cannot even access my.hughesnet.com. It's completely down. What's worse, When I contact customer services, I either can't get through, or we start the conversation and they just stop responding. I feel guilty because I convinced my family to go with them. But now there is competition in the area, so as soon as our contract, is up...deuces Hughes!! 😉 Good luck!
