H.N Fraud
My internet was set up two months ago Beginning was as slow as it is now. I was sold and told "great fast internet that I can stream videos and have my cameras connected to" "30gb of satellite data is the same as hundreds of LTEgb Data" I was then told my internet is slow because it is winter where I live. Now the weather is fine and they have confirmed the satilite is receiving a full signal. I spoke with 4 different tech support agents on the phone no one could help. I spoke with 2 people that said they were managers that sounded like they were in a bar they said they did "different' tests and to call back in a couple days if it didn't solve my issues. I called back talked to multiple tech support agents again that did the same things and that I had to tell them what was going on again and again and again. They then sent a tech to my business. They replaced every single piece of hardware and nothing worked to fix it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My speed is 0.02mbps Average!!!!!!!!!!!!! testmy.net gives me a download speed of 0.02 mbps with one device connected. The tech was here in person and got the exact same problem. Hey called tech support once again for me and was on the phone with them for an hour. They said no one has ever seen this and to wait two hours. I then called after I waited a whole 6 hours. I was sent to 3 different people and after an hour and a half made it to a nice manager that said he was going to wave my cancelation fee of almost $800 thats along with the $300 visa I was told I would get if I signed up. The manager sent me to an account manager that said I had to still pay the $800 Then he said I needed to go back to tech support AGAIN. I talked to three more people after that and was told now I need to wait two days again. This is outrageous. I have contacted legal counsel and will spend as much money as it takes to make sure I will not have to pay a cancelation fee for 0.02mbps average speed. Ive been lied to hung up on and transferred at least 30 times and everyone acts like they have no idea whats going on and pretends theres nothing they can do to help or that they don't know anyone that can help. THIS IS FRAUD. FBI AND BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WILL NOT STOP RECEIVING PROOF OF FRAUD UNTIL MY INTERNET IS DISCONNECTED AND MY ACCOUNT IS DELETED I am a reasonable person and signed up for internet around 40mbps I am getting 0.02 thats 99.98% slower than the customer average. I am available anytime of the day or night. This is illegal. I signed a contract for a service that I am not receiving. You are going against the contract not me.13KViews1like20Comments
HATE this INTERNET!
The advertising for this internet company is VERY deceiving! I'm stuck only because nobody else services my house but I get MAYBE one movie a month on a plan I pay $70/month for after taxes. After that, I have to deal with constant hang ups or lags - sometimes every 2 minutes. I ended up buying a "dongle" for my TV & I attach my phone to it and use my mobile network to stream movies instead of using this worked internet. The only time I use Hughesnet is for downloading documents because I'm a book editor & need to get large documents several times a month. If there were a way to sue this company for false advertising, for claiming they have such good service with all of those smiling people on the website, on their brochure and... Ugh! DON'T BELIEVE IT! I've had Comcast, AT&T, and several other internet providers and bar none, Hughesnet is the ABSOLUTE WORST OF THE WORST! People here have mentioned a termination fee, & I swear, if I go to cancel & they want me to pay something like that, I'll have a fit! That's prolly why they make you autopay, so they can just TAKE what THEY say you owe when you don't pay the ETF's.13KViews4likes8Comments
Multiple Disconnects, Awaiting Engineers >5 weeks, Misrepresented Speeds
1) I have contacted HughesNet Tech Support multiple times. Each time, it is due to the internet either being down completely or being spotty, ranging around 1-6 mbps. Each time, the issue is temporarily resolved only to fail again soon thereafter. 2) In addition, despite being assured multiple times over the phone that I would receive credits to my account for the lack of service, I have not received them. 3) Furthermore, when trying to call billing, my call is always disconnected after being patched through to the service representative. 4) The invoices are minimally informational and do not clarify where the > $20 added to my account each month is from. 5) After speaking with TechSupport, I was referred to the engineering team who has yet to contact me despite my calling many times to follow-up on their addressing my internet problems. 6) Despite not having internet service for the majority of my 4 monhts with HughesNet, I have paid hundreds of dollars. 7) Each time I am contacted by Customer Service after submitting surveys following Tech Support services, I am told there is nothing that can be done to resolve the issue but wait for the engineering team. 8) Over the phone when first establishing service, I did not verbally agree to automatic payment renewal. I would like to open a case on this and have the audiofile scrubbed to verify this took place. I've been directed by Customer Service to create this community thread in the hopes that the internet issues will actually be resolved. Moderator, please address each issue as it is numbered in this thread.5KViews0likes4Comments
