Re: Hughesnet is a scam
Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions. One thing I will mention, is that my issue is not priority data, I am well aware of data caps and the speeds dropping, that is the nature of most internet source providers. The issue I have is latency, whether priority data affects latency or not, I get bad latency with and without priority data. The speeds of hughesnets internet is good for satellite, and the amount of priority data that hughesnet gives is good. The main issue is just the latency, internet speeds and latency or ping, are two different things. After reading through all the replies I am keeping an open mind to the fact that yes, it is not a scam. However, this service should in no circumstance be advertised to people as "low latency internet" who live in rural areas. So I apologize, and at the moment since the issue will not be fixed, I a starting the termination process on my contract. For anyone who has issues with internet speeds, you are using satellite, and there is priority data, its not a scam once you use up your data and are put on the back burner, just don't buy a service that cant support your needs. I know I just came on here and complained, which was not good on my side so I apologize, but being sold on a service for low latency, and not receiving that, I and everyone dealing with the same will be fed up. I will just accept the fact that the fusion service cannot and will not support low latency in my area and move on. Thanks to everyone for trying.3Views0likes0CommentsHughesnet is a scam
I have been using hughesnet internet for the past 4-5 months now on the fusion plan. I called tech support to ask if the fusion plan was available in my area and they said yes. After setting up the fusion modem and the booster, I have had nothing but problems. Paying 120 dollars a month for "low latency internet" when I am getting 500+ms on average. I called multiple times and it took 4 phone calls to get a technician out here to "replace the radio" because one of the tech support on the phone barely spoke english and didn't take any notes during the phone call which is completely unprofessional. After the technician came, he spent 6 hours to replace the radio, and the fusion modem, turns out the modem that was given to me was an outdated product, and this whole time I was being charged for a service that they did not give me the hardware to support it. They did not tell me, nor the technician that it had to be replaced. After the technician tried to get it set up, he couldn't get the software to properly setup and said it was an issue on hughesnets end. He told me he had been working for hughesnet for years and its one of the worst isps in Michigan. After all of the troubleshooting he couldn't fix the problem, and said it was in the hands on hughesnets engineers to fix on their end, its been a week and it is still not fixed. This whole time we have been charged 120 dollars a month for the fusion plan AND WE ARE NOT GETTING IT. We have been scammed and I know for certain they will not get this fixed. And I have no hopes for calling support because half the people there are mindless and speak broken english, the technician who was here to help said it himself, that the people in tech support dont know what the **bleep** they are talking about. I am tired of this being used by this isp for money and getting horrible support overall. This is the worst experience I have ever had with any internet source provider and they are asking for 400 dollars to cancel. DO NOT BUY HUGHSNET, IT IS A SCAM.Solved802Views1like6CommentsRe: Hughesnet is a scam
I am sorry but I am tired of this. I will ask for support then. Is there any way I can go down a tier in the plan so I am not paying for a service I am not receiving, without a fee? Is there a way I can cancel the contract entirely and be done with hughesnet without a fee since the past 4 months I have not been getting what I am paying for?746Views1like1Comment
