Re: Is cancellation fee waived when moving out of service area?
Amanda: "supposing" swims around in the same pool as "assuming." Perhaps you could find a supply of the word "optional" and give it to the instruction writers to insert into the appropriate places to reduce the panic level of those returning stuff you HN.4.3KViews0likes0Comments- 13KViews0likes0Comments
Re: View/Pay Bill without log another victim of SC upgrade
I had one of those experiences with HughesNet telephone support last evening the memory of which will last me to my dying thought. I have Hughes Voice, which I expect was the culprit. Support wants to know your phone number, either spoken or keyed. I tried keying in the number only to be rewarded with a voice verification that got to the last digit of my area code and then announced that it had encountered an error, please resubmit. Tried three times, all failed, so I went to the voice option. I spoke my number as I normally do, with a slight pause between numbers. The voice verification repeated "11200000000354670000897 Is that correct?" I finally discovered that I had to speak the phone number really really quickly, and even then it took 3 tries before it understood my English-as-first-language pronunciation. I'm sure many wouldn't have the patience I did.10KViews0likes0CommentsFYI: 'Web Of Trust' Browser Add-On Caught Selling Users' Data — Uninstall It Now
Aninvestigationby German television channel NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk) has discovered a series of privacy breaches by Web Of Trust (WOT) – one of the top privacy and security browser extensions used by more than 140 Million online users to help keep them safe online. Web of Trust has been offering a "Safe Web Search & Browsing" service since 2007. The WOT browser extension, which is available for both Firefox and Chrome, uses crowdsourcing to rate websites based on trustworthiness and child safety. However, it turns out that the Web of Trust service collects extensive data about netizens' web browsing habits via its browser add-on and then sells them off to various third party companies. What's extremely worrying?Web of Trust did not properly anonymize the data it collects on its users, which means it is easy to expose your real identity and every detail about you. The WOT Privacy Policy states that your IP address, geo-location, the type of device, operating system, and browser you use, the date and time, Web addresses, and browser usage are all collected, but they are in "non-identifiable" format. However, NDR found that it was very easy to link the anonymized data to its individual users. The reporters focused on just a small data sample of around 50 WOT users, and were able to retrieve a lot of data, which included: Account name Mailing address Shopping habits Travel plans Possible illnesses Sexual preferences Drug consumption Confidential company information Ongoing police investigations Browser surfing activity including all sites visited This data belonged to just 50 users, and WOT has more than 140 Million users. From here, you can imagine why the whole matter is of huge concern.

$2/month per toll free number (other than 800) and SIX POINT NINE CENTS PER MINUTE for all calls. As I said, I have used kall8 for over a decade for our business 866 number and for fax number. I have NEVER experienced what you are reporting. NEVER.9.3KViews0likes0Comments
