About Reggie

One would think. But since I had to lead the installers in then it must've been legitimized somehow. And we've had the cell #s for a bunch of years. The bill gets paid so they don't seem to care. Theoretically one can disappear off the map although it probably isn't as easy these days. The other advantage? Lions and tigers and bears Oh My! And three Catahoulas. But this isn't about me/us. Its about a new technology I am thrilled about. I don't have to explain why I can't do a WebEx or VoIP call anymore. I'd just love to have a little used equivalent connection that could support it.

Give our security team something to chew on hahaha -Liz

So it was an ad-on after all. Glad you got it solved, Reg. :) Reggie wrote: I tried it again. It worked this time.Thanx for the help.

Hi Gail83, I see it's your first post here, so welcome to the community! I looked into this for you and apparently we did have sporadic chat issues recently. This was addressed by our engineers over the weekend, and should no longer be the case now. I do apologize for the inconvenience you encountered, I appreciate you brining this to our attention. -Liz

maratsade · ‎05-11-2020

You gave up how? Did you cancel the service?

maratsade · ‎05-04-2020

Currently streaming is deprioritised, so it may not work well for most people, if at all. Since you can't leave the service, have you considered asking for specific help for your issues here? You'd have to create a new post under Tech Support. We have had to buy landline in order to make & receive calls. We cannot watch Netflix since programs buffer every 2 minutes & forget about a Hulu ur Prime’s, which we are paying for. We would quit Hughes but do not have any other choice due to where we live

" Who remembers James Taylors Fire & Rain? Eagles. Eric Clapton." I do. Good stuff!

Liz · ‎04-30-2020

Yeah the adjustment was made very recently so hopefully things are back to normal now. Thanks everyone for your help! -Liz

Hi Reggie, Thanks for sharing your experience and optimism. I just ran diagnostics on your site to be sure there wasn't any thing glaringly wrong, but all is working. Our engineers are indeed working to ensure the network is handling this increased traffic these days. If you have any other concerns we can address, we'll be here. Thanks, Liz

Liz · ‎04-17-2020

Hi cthrower, Thank you so much for your patience while your sales call review request was investigated. Please check your private messages (PM) in the top right corner of the community page as I've sent you a PM to further address your concerns. Thanks, Liz

Liz · ‎04-13-2020

Good morning Noral, Thank you for messaging me the requested info. I pulled up your account and ran diagnostics on your site. The HughesNet equipment is online and working normally. We apologize for the difficulty you are experiencing with streaming on your service. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, traffic on the HughesNet network has increased dramatically. We have adjusted the network to help improve performance during this time of increased usage, and our engineers are working around the clock to optimize the network for all our customers. To fix the problem you are experiencing, please try the steps below. Adjust your streaming app/device settings: Use the latest version of streaming apps for best performance Turn off auto-play, as many sites (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, news sites, etc.) contain videos, animated gifs, and sound clips that start playing as soon as you open them. When this feature is enabled, entire video and sound files can use your data to download automatically. Quick links to use less data: Netflix - Adjust playback quality to Standard Definition Facebook - Change auto-play to OFF Android - Reduce Mobile Data Usage iPhone - Tips to Reduce High Data Usage on iPhone Adjust your HughesNet settings: How do I get the most out of my HughesNet service? Slow/No Connectivity What is Service Plan Data? (and how is it used?) hug2 vs hug5 Wi-Fi networks -Liz

They both work for me. I think they call that "you're having problems with your connection." bravo6 wrote: Just tried both your links regarding free hotspots...neither of them will load...I think they call that "irony".

maratsade · ‎03-23-2020

Yes, there's that, of course. They're fairly cold too. ;)

I thought that was the case, too. @GabeU wrote: Though I'm not 100% on this, I think he changed to another ISP, as well.

maratsade · ‎03-21-2020

Sorry, I didn't have anything to post as evidence.... it was more of a vague memory that I had read something about it, and I think it's what @GabeU posted, or something similar. @lighthope1 wrote: I haven't seen HughesNet's name involved in any of the LEO articles I've read. I could have missed something, though. But as far as I know, HN is not part of it...unless they are leasing capacity.

Reggie's right, and to do that, go to myAccount and Billing and click on "start a topic." You can copy what you posted here and then paste it over there. Since this is a solved thread, I wonder if the mods can lock it.

Liz · ‎03-17-2020

There have always been crafty cheaters... LOL

@tandst1 wrote: Not "fair" to users of traditional carriers either. Hughesnet should step up and release bandwidth like the others. The fact they aren't is because they know their customers have no alternative. Maybe if they acted like they cared now some of their customers would stick around in a couple years when others get competitive networks built... Go T-Mobile/Sprint and Dish.. It would help to research what you are critiquing lest you publicly make baseless and foolish claims.

A private island sounds awesome! EDIT: I could totally live the panda life there. Eat for 18 hours, sleep the rest of the time.

Hello Adamsfamily, Thank you for reaching out. Your best option is to please call 800.347.3272 for support. This community is geared towards our residential customers; the moderators have limited capabilities with business (SME) accounts. We appreciate your understanding. -Liz

Liz · ‎03-13-2020

Hi Mnash, Welcome to the community, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. The HughesNet community has other boards in which subscribers can post; our most active ones being the tech support board and the account and billing board. There you can see many subscribers reaching out and receiving help from other subscribers like yourself, or in other cases, from HughesNet reps. This community is primarily a self-help stop for you and all residential HughesNet subscribers, along with these other support resources. I hope that clears things up for you. :) Have a great weekend! Thanks, Liz

maratsade · ‎03-13-2020

Glad we found it, an I hope it helps our fellow subscriber. Removing the radio seems fairly easy (though it being on the roof is scary) and I imagine it doesn't require much skill, so maybe a neighbour can help, for free (or for homemade goodies...)?

maratsade · ‎03-10-2020

Ditto where I live. I have the 50GB and that's plenty for me. @Reggie wrote: That plan is not offered in my area. That's ok.
