I am a disabled 63 old male that lives in a rural area that had only Hughes Net for internet. I signed up over 2 years ago and could not use the internet after 3 PM; after multiple calls to the help line I was told that I needed to go to the Gen 5 system. On 6/21/17 I signed up for the Gen 5 making sure that I would not be locked into another 2 years, that my time would originate from first signing up with Hughes; I was assured my time went back to first signing on with Hughes. I have to depend on being able to contact my physicians and/or EMT for emergencies due to my illness, which I was supposed to be able to do with Hughes phone service. In less than 5 months a have a documented 34 phone calls with customer service because of not being able to use the phone or my internet after 4 PM as the internet was so slow I couldn't access any thing with a pass word or it would time out and my phone calls could not be heard from either party. On my last phone call to Hughes I told them that I was going to switch as soon as another supplier came to our area, which it did and I switched. Now, I found out that I will have to pay $400 plus for "early" cancellation fees. Unbelievable service and business morals.
