He got so mad he threw something against the wall when a customer asked me if it would work with Netflix and I lied and said I don't know and he called Hughes and they told him no so he cancelled the order. This guys idea about the hotspot is a much better option.

  • @andix7512
    @andix7512 5 років тому +5

    Hi There, I worked for HughesNet for a little over a year and I have a few bits of info to give. This is a satellite based internet service, so any weather, or even trees can disturb your internet. Hotspots use 4G internet so of course it’s going to run way faster than any satellite based internet. Also if you live in an area where a lot of people have the service is brings your chances of having 25MBPS speed down because more people are on the gateway that you’re on, that’s why the guarantee is 25MBPS or up to 60% of 25MBPS. Because with the variables with satellite based internet, there can be no exact pin pointed guarantee as to what your speeds will be. Also PSA: if you are a business owner and/or require using VPN (Viral Private Network) please please please DO NOT used any satellite based internet services. VPN’s are not compatible because it slows down the process of your satellite to compensate for any delays, it will be so slow you will not even be able to use your internet at all.
    Anyways there’s a lot more, of you have any questions just let me know I would gladly to a reply with more information.

It’s a internet connection used for only web browsing etc. it is not built to support streaming or gaming.

  • @tylerblackstock6452
    @tylerblackstock6452 5 років тому +4

    By my own stupidity I apparently agreed to a 2 year contract with this company. Service was spotty at best, and generally i could expect to have a 2-3 sec lag+ time between web pages, and the need to pause any video content for 5-10 seconds before resuming. Service would often cut out entirely at times during any sort of bad weather. If I ever got 25M a sec that's debatable, but for a temporary rural satellite service i wasn't expecting much.
    But oh no my friends the real issue was the sneaky contract. When I went to cancel because i'm moving soon, they made sure i was now aware that i had signed that and are going to charge me 320$ to early disconnect. Rather than want to try and keep me in the future or have me give good word of mouth, they would rather just stick me and get my money now with no exceptions. So here ya go hughesnet here is your damn milk money, I WILL NEVER GET YOUR SERVICE AGAIN, and will not be recommending it to anyone EVER. Great business model, very corporate commando.

    I use up both the bonus and the normal limit on the highest plan amount in around 5hrs then it is slow for a month. I will let you guys in on a secret that internet and phone providers use, they say up to 20Mb/s so you think oh that's the same as the downloads on my computer or game console. But it is not it is 8 times slower because they are using megabits aka 1/8 of a megabyte which is what your computer or console uses. Now I will show you how to tell the difference now if they are measuring in megabytes "the bigger version" they will say "up to 20MB/s" the B will be the upper case if they are using megabits "8 times slower" they will say "up to 20Mb/s" also Hughes net sucks we have used it for 4yrs because it is our only option. also, BONUS TIP if you have an android device with a mobile connection lookup PDANET it will use the connection of your phone, not the separate hotspot data that they slow down drastically after the data limit but you will need to plug your device into a PC and it has a lot of issues but in most cases it is even faster than Hughes net even when you have data left. sorry, I rambled on for so long but I hope this helped someone.

And what they dont tell you is the killer. We are supposed to get 25 mgb but rarely get over 4mgb. Called then many times.Customer service is a joke. Cant get anyone who speaks English. Cant understand them. also direct TV uses the internet to record and play back recordings. So for you MGb's you pay for and not getting you may get one recorded move that uses up all the MGB's . Then you get throttled down to .5 MGB. So I say fuck you hughes net! As for using your cell service as a hot spot .that a joke too. what they dont tell you is unless you get 5 bars on your phone your hot spot is basically garbage also.

    Except mobile providers usually don't allow home usage. It violates their ToS. Meaning they can actually cancel your service if they catch you using it for that. And both mobile and cable do the same thing. Even if it says Unlimited they still have the same data cap crap just in different sizes. Verizon in particular being the worst (drops down to 600kbps down and 128kbps up).

    I had Hughes and as suppose to get 15 mbs and only received between 1 mbs and 5 mbs and they kept on saying it was good on their end but wasn't on my end so after 3 months I decided to cancel. I didn't pay them the 3 months I had. They wanted to charge me the cost for cncelling them and I told them I will call the BBB so they waved the Fee. I had to go back to my phone Co. and I get better service with them than I did with Hughes. I would not recommend hughes to anyone.

    i tried talking to their customer service people twice. once because my speed was horrible and he raised his voice to me in a threatening manner. he also didn't even know what i had been told i would receive. the second time i called was because my house had burned down. the first lady said i would not owe even the partial bill. the second lady i spoke to i made the mistake of mentioning that the first lady said i would not owe the partial bill. i was far from hateful and said it matter of factly. at first she seemed nice and said i will see what i can do. she paused a second and said ok, i am writing off the 50 you owe for your service and you are paying the 600.00 for your contract!!! i was not hateful at any point with this woman. i just lost my house and she was like that.
    i went online to write a review but apparently they are controlled by these poorly ran companies as well. it is called consumer affairs. all i seen was great reviews highlighted by hughesnet and when i wrote a review i went to look at a past review i wrote and it had never been published!!! they simply sit on them if they're bad.
    do not buy from these people. if you need ANY sort of customer service you will instantly regret it. there isn't ONE american person to speak to at all. it's probably not even an american company. definitely doesn't have american values. not one.

      I have to use my verizon mobile hotspot to work my 8 to 10 hours a day from home and it works fine when I work, but when we watch Netflix or UA-cam it kinda buffers so because of that we can't watch full movies online on our usual websites where we would always watch new movie releases or the kids aren't able to get online to play the ps3. So it sucks because we actually don't live too far from town. We are probably like at least 2 miles from town. CenturyLink always says there's not enough broadband width to come to OUR HOUSE but my mom whom lives so many feet away can get internet. We recently got our house built so the address is still new so maybe that could be a reason why they don't want to come and install? I can get a house phone with them but no internet...why the hell would i want phone and what i need is internet??? Definitely not getting a 2 year contract w any internet provider that isn't going to be reliable. Plus, the ones that I almost considered charge sooooo much and they take advantage of that because we live in rural areas....TRUMP NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT THAN WORRY ABOUT A WALL!!! Farmers and ranchers need fast internet to work and not just for pleasure!! Our kids need fast internet to do their homework also!!

  • @rajvader
    @rajvader 5 років тому +3

    So, my rural phone company was bought-out by Windstream years ago, and maintenance has been in decline ever since... We're out in the boonies, and more than a mile back off the road, so our DSL is 5-ish Mbps at the best of times. Since the mile+ of wire buried in the rocky drive, except where it has to come up to the utility poles to jump the creek, is over 20 years old and showing it. (Along with its associated junction boxes, splices.) So both the DSL and land line are a "sometimes" thing.
    And we can't get one bar on the cellphones at the house.
    Satellite is the only other option here... But it sounds like you got a bad installation. We had DirecTV satellite here, self-installed, and never had any technical issues. But I got the dish pointed right at the wide-open line-of-sight to the bird, then locked it down where a gale couldn't budge it. Only times we had signal fail was when there were high ice clouds (bringing Summer hailstorms) or the dish filled with snow in the Winter. (Fortunately, we did NOT have it on the roof, but down where I could hit it with a squirt bottle of warm water!)
    The "Up To XX Mbps" is pretty much universal jargon from all providers. I think my DSL is advertised as 50Mbps. The satellite companies appear to be the only ones who frequently exceed advertised speeds. (Consumer Reports.)
    Problem is all Internet Providers get miserable reviews online... When a utility works, nobody gives it a second thought. It's only when it fails that folks go online to raise hell about it. (Human nature.)

      I'm on Windstream. (They bought out my rural phone company years ago.) When it's working right, my DSL is 5-ish down, .5 or so up. That would be acceptable, but the 20-odd year old mile+ (long farm access road) of flimsy copper wire with four junction boxes an assorted splices are showing their age, and Windstream has no inclination to replace it all. So we're SOL every time there a storm or strong wind.
      Only other option is satellite. Problem is ALL internet providers get horrible reviews because nobody makes noise about a utility service unless the have a problem with it.

    Hughesnet is not a ISP for people who are able to get broadband internet! It is for RURAL AREAS WHERE NOTHING ELSE IS AVAILABLE . If fiber is available who in their right mind would sign up for satilite internet?? definitely without doing there research first.
    Most services offered you have to sign a contract so that's nothing new.
    I see speeds over 30mbs every day. After your 25g are used it does slow you down but it should still work well. If you had a poor install done ( like you said) that was most of the problem!! The dish has to be installed correctly and not be able to move or you will never get the service you are paying for. Bad installer not service. Sorry you had a bad experience, but some of it is your own fault for not researching what you were getting, would it take care of your needs and the type of usage you require.... If you're trying to use hughesnet as your main form of tv and only stream no.. Its not going to satisfy the need. Emails, social media, browsing, online shopping.. Yes it works get.
