Re: How to support your customers not sure if you guys are profiting from this or if you just have Stockholme syndrome Re: How to support your customers It's March. It's TOKEN MADNESS in the email. Token prices are the same. Re: How to support your customers Or, how about this, boys... How about you give us ANY CONTROL OVER WHEN WE USE OUR HIGH SPEED DATA If I buy a token, I should be able to control when it's used. That would probably be better for your load management, anyway. Wouldn't be hard for average users. Leave it on all the time. Put in the switch for people who know how to find it. Re: How to support your customers How about you paid-off "professors" (omg) stop pretending we're only entitled to useful speeds when we "have data" when they advertise UNLIMITED INTERNET* *for two days then it's useless unless you constantly give us money Re: How to support your customers Thanks, trolls who aren't employees but are definitely getting kickbacks. Once more for the people waaayyy in the back - IT IS STRICTLY THE THROTTLED SPEED I'M TALKING ABOUT. They can do better. If they can ever do better for anyone who buys a token, they can generally do better on the throttled speed. It's so simple. Confound it however you want. Everyone on the network doesn't get full speed at the same time? o rly? when does your data package refresh, Gabe? You have no idea what I'm talking about, because you're on constant tokens for post bashing. But for everyone else it's the first of the month. I understand the service I signed up for. Yes. It is the only one I can get. There is one competitor, and I'm ready to try them, just to shake things up. Re: How to support your customers If they are ready for everyone to buy tokens, they have spare capacity. They can do better. Finito. Re: How to support your customers Then explain to me how on the first of every month everyone gets max speed Re: How to support your customers You didn't read it. I'm not asking for unlimited data. I'm asking for a slight increase in the throttled speed. They have capacity to offer much, much, better than that. Because they do. Every month. To everyone. If every customer bought a token, right now, they could support it. They can do better on the throttle speed. How to support your customers Hey Hughes "We are doing everything possible to make sure you stay connected in this challenging time." Net Just got your email urging me to buy more tokens, because it's TOKEN MADNESS Last time I was grabbing one because I can't load my trading platform without one (which I've been spending more time doing since my entire industry moved remote last year and my satellite services don't qualify for remote work period) I happened upon your very helpful and not-at-all-condescending article about "Working from Home Successfully with HughesNet" I have a few thoughts. Firstly, most workers and students do not get to choose which software they use. It is dictated by the employer or school. I'd assume you know this, being people who work, presumably, in a combination of office and remote positons. The software you have listed are easily the least demanded applications. So that is no way helpful to anyone. (Frankly you're lucky if your employer will hire/remote you with satellite in the first place.) Secondly, and this is the big one... if you were honestly commited to supporting your customers, you would do the one simple, immediate thing that would change everyone's quality of life immeasurably: RAISE THE THROTTLED BACKGROUND UNLIMITED DATA BANDWIDTH. EVEN JUST A LITTLE. JUST ANOTHER MB OR SO. And LOTS OF THINGS START WORKING. Home office applications, VOIP services, any entertainment streamer besides Netflix... stop timing out with even a slight improvement in overal speed. Two people being able to browse the web at reasonable speeds at the same time should not be too much to ask for what we pay you. And don't say you can't! We know you can, because at the top of every month, your network splits open and TEARS IT UP when every. single. customer. you. have. gets their "DATA PACKAGE." We ALL get the same blazing speeds for like 2-3 days, and demand drops, as everyone runs out of data. You. Have. Spare. Capacity. Do you want to support us? Do you want trading tickers to update accurately, email attachments to come through in a less-than-terrorizing amount of time? Do you think we deserve to watch Disney+, which works perfectly at 1.5M but will not connect below 1? Do you want HughesNEt to not be the reason one person keeps dropping Zoom meetings and has to say "Sorry, I'm on HughesNet satellite. " Or do you just want to sell us tokens? all day long? Yours, at least until the fiber allegedly gets here in Q3, Hostage #X
