Hello Markpierce, what maratsade said is correct. The rankings assigned to customers on the Community are automatic and depends on their activity. Everyone posting on the community that does not have the word (Mod) next to their name is a regular customer.4.4KViews1like0CommentsRe: What games do you find playable on Hughesnet?
Hello Madams, for a detailed explanation of how gaming works on HughesNet Gen5 please follow these links https://www.hughesnet.com/taxonomy/term/186 or https://internet.hughesnet.com/faqs/gaming/. So we can begin addressing your speed concerns, please create a Testmy.net account and run 3-5 tests during different parts of the day. Post your test results link here in your thread. Please keep in mind that HughesNet will only accept Testmy.net and the official HughesNet speed test results. Tests from other sites like speedtest.net are not accepted due to the compression technologies and latency that satellite deploys. Most important points to remember during this test: -do the tests while directly connected to the HughesNet modem with a LAN cable (NO third party Router or Wireless devices can be used) -use the 12MB size download test file ONLY if on Gen4 Service Plan -use the 25MB size download test file ONLY if on Gen5 Service Plan -If testing upload instead of download, you must use a 4MB size upload test file -space each test at least 5 minutes apart -post your results URL here, it may look something like http://testmy.net/quickstats/C0RR0SIVE For a more in depth guide on running the tests, please visit: http://hninfo.us/speedtest23KViews0likes2CommentsHow to adjust Data Usage through 3rd party services.

Hello Graftonj101, your patience and understanding are much appreciated. After reviewing your account, I was able to determine the differences in your billing. For security reasons, I would like to continue this conversation in private. Please private message me through the community, and I will gladly help explain the bill and your speeds in more detail.12KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Business vs Residential Plans
Hello TC-Dev, There is an option for our business customers to get service with no contract. You can purchase the equipment for $299.99 upfront and pay for the $700.00 standard installation fee, this will make it so you are essentially on a month to month service like you asked for.4.1KViews1like0Comments
