Well.. that would be a lie if they said that.  It's just sad that this company that I really didn't have a problem with.. and thought was a good company has turned out to the the most dishonest, untrushworthy company I have ever done business with.     ... View more

Yep.. legit question.. My husband called and "upgraded" our service.  He changed to the newest receiver at that time and also upgraded our package.  And we were already signed up for autobill and no paper bill so I never saw an itemized bill.  The monthly payment did seem high..but  because of the upgrades I just thought it was that expensive.  I also thought Hughesnet was an honest company at that time... hahaha.. I was wrong on both counts.  It was only found because a problem came up while trying to add a device.  That's when we found out they had added an account.. with a name.. but charging it to our account.  I guess if it wasn't for that problem.. they would still be happily charging our account. Now .. my question.. I posted this as a separate comment.. why was it added to my original?     ... View more

Ok.. so I posted about a week ago, needing help with my bill.  Well, I finally got to talk to someone and just wanted to update my original post.  I want to say, as I said in the first post.. I have had HughesNet for about 10 years.. never really had a problem until now.. when I did have a problem it was always taken care of and the ppl were friendly... until now!  I found these boards and was reading all the complaints about dishonest billing.. dishonest service.. etc., etc.  Well, I hate to say it but I found out just how true all those posts are! 3 years ago we upgraded our service.  Well, instead of upgrading the service, they just added an upgraded account to the service we already had.  They didn't just add an account.. they added a name for that acct., so now we have 2 accts with 2 names but all billed to the same original acct and name.  All when we only authorized one acct.  But.. it was autobilled to our acct.. and we didn't get a detailed bill each month.. so we had no clue about this until a problem come up when we were trying to add a new device.  So.. for 3 years, we've been paying for 2 accts, in 2 different names .. to the tune of about $2800.00 !!!  So.. after finally getting to talk to someone, the best that this company that I thought was good and "trustworthy" and would surely correct their mistakes can do will so happily reimburse me for 6 months out of 3 years worth of stealing from my bank account.   I guess after reading all the posts on this board.. and from my experience.. one thing I would really like to say.... PLEASE do not give HughesNet access to your bank account or a credit card.  Or at the least.. do not let them auto-bill your acct.     LindaB ... View more

Ok.. thank you Gabe.  Seeing as how none of the MOD's have replied to this.. I will try your recommendations and see if that will help. To make it short and sweet, until I can talk to someone, HughesNet has been charging me for 2 accounts and we never signed up for 2 accounts.   Case #104716720 ... View more
