Bird Fan Posted December 23, 2008 CID Share Posted December 23, 2008 I thought HughesNet was great as long as you have a clear view of the southern sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tm24ns58 Posted December 23, 2008 CID Share Posted December 23, 2008 I know that everyone does not have a good setup or experience. I however am just fine with my HughesNet. I am getting above the average for DirecPc users. I have the Pro plan. I feel that the people having problems are not persistent enough with HughesNet. I was and got changed to a different transponder about a year ago. I went through the MD BBB. I feel they were a huge help to me. I got the corporate office on the case. I was changed and have been happy ever since. I would not hesitate to go through the same process again. Is if fast? Heck no. It takes months. However the payoff is well worth it. Just keep detailed notes of each call, persons name, call center, and what ever else you can make a note of. ::::::::::..

ghostmaster Posted December 23, 2008 CID Share Posted December 23, 2008 Exactly, you had to go to the BBB to get them to do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneer_56 Posted December 26, 2008 CID Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hughesnet worked most of the time, that I'll give them credit for. But since going wireless I couldn't be happier away from them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaSurfer Posted December 29, 2008 CID Share Posted December 29, 2008 I can't believe these people are still in business. I've been helping a friend that has had nothing but problems with them the last couple months. All of a sudden they are getting penalized every other day for exceeding download restrictions. Now the restriction they have on their plan is 200MB a day. That is absolutely caveman numbers. I can go to a site and have 200MB in a matter of minutes with high graphic webpages or alike. Plus after my friend hits this 200MB he is sanctioned and basically shut down for 24 hours as a punishment. Since when is 200MB of download in 24 hours a high-end user? Plus like sone providers that exclude sites like Microsoft from counting against you, they count everything. So if you have a video upgrade or Windows update, you better hope its under 200MB or they can't get it. I hope Hughesnet.com is ruined by this.

tommie gorman Posted December 29, 2008 CID Share Posted December 29, 2008 Actually several are goin with 5 GB per month, and that is in the same ballpark. But at least the others spread it over a month, instead of per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted December 30, 2008 CID Share Posted December 30, 2008 I could easly use that in one day or maybe two Now that is quite a bit. I use at most 1-2 gigs per day once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be dropping out of the law suit, I just got EVDO that I am trying out.... can't get the speeds up on it right now! Take it to the EVDO thread. Its not too hard really.
