Cancer
Went to the hospital Tuesday as the pain went through the roof. Poked, prodded, x-ray, two CAT scans and an MRI Cancer in one lung ... and then the bad news. Cancer on my vertebraes. Eating into the bone surfaces and pushing against the spinal cord. They removed the mass. Had to remove damaged bone in a number of places so that rods and plates could be added to strengthen the spine. They were monitoring spinal signals.they lost them. I am unable to feel my legs, feet, am unable to walk. They said it could come back in 72 hours but they didn't seem real positive. There are more smaller spots on the spine and the lung of course but if the legs don't come I don't see the point of further treatment. It's been a good run.Re: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting tired of it...
Yes, burnout is very real. In my case I seldom post due to failing health. Things have changed over time. It used to be that folks understood that satellite Internet was not, can not be the functional equivalent of ground based systems. These days many users are cord cutters. The extra load on the entire system and within individual beams is bringing the system to its knees and they just don't want to hear it. They just want cable performance. Don't even get me going on the self proclaimed "Sys Admins".Re: Using my data tokens BUT IT'S NOT showing how much I'm using - can anyone help?
happytexann Your remaing token bytes are shown as 15.5 GB at the time you took the screenshot. If you were to check later and it listed 15.4 GB you will have used .1 GB (100 MB) between those two points, Example: The MyAccount meter shows 37500MB remaining (37.5 GB) If I return later and it shows 37400, I will have used 100MB in the elapsed period.Re: Good or Bad, Service-Support-Billing
The default payment method employed by HughesNet is "Auto-Pay". It is possible to pay ahead, that is to say that you will show a positive credit balance ..... however ...... If you have "invoice billing" you have 30 days to make your payment from the data that the bill is generated. If you have "Auto-Draft" your payment method will be charged the micro-second that your bill is generated. If you were to pre-pay and are on "Auto-Draft" you run the very real risk your payment method getting a double hit as the Auto-Pay is .... automatic. Be aware the Invoice Billing usually comes with a $5.00 monthly charge. But .... you can pay early ... just watch the details. My bill is generated on the 5th of the month. I pay online as a"one time" payment and hence show a credit balance:
