After spending over two hours on the phone with three different Customer Service Techs, we requested a new modem to be sent to a local general store since our location is so remote. We received a UPS notification that evening saying the modem was being shipped to our remote physical address that is behind two located gates and four miles off the main road! We were not happy!! We contacted yet another Tech the next day trying to explain our situation AGAIN. After first telling us that she could not contact UPS and request the delivery address to be changed and placing us on hold several times, she finally said she was able to contact UPS, and the modem would be delivered to the address we requested in town. When the modem arrived, it still did not work, so a Field Tech came out over a week later. He said they (HN) had shipped the modem without entering coordinates. He had to install yet another modem and replace our "radio" on the dish. We are finally up and running but are extremely frustrated with the fact we paid shipping on a faulty modem that wasn't configured from the start. We were also told to return our original modem, but we haven't received any shipping instructions. We are so frustrated that we cannot seem to get the Customer Service Techs to understand that we have no electricity, no cell phone, no landline, etc. We have to run our system off of a generator and cannot trouble shoot over the phone since there is no communication! This is the reason we needed satellite service in the first place. We are happy our service is now working, but we are not happy with the Customer Service Techs as a whole, not happy that we are paying shipping on a faulty modem, not happy that we have not received any shipping instructions for the old modem, and not happy that we are supposed to pay a Field Tech to come out when the issues were with Hughes Net equipment.
