@dude_ohio @hughesnetstinks @78matt788 On the one hand, I've arguably been a little too critical of rich people looking at their piles of money and electing to launch it into space to be down with that service, but on the other hand, being able to open more than one email per hour would be nice.

@solutionhow_com So are you Really going to pay Hughesnet $150+ a month on top of tokens to remove throttling so you ‘maybe ‘ can do things you should already be allowed to do?
Look at the reality down below:

@irritated_1 @dude_ohio Same here! We cancelled them and they offered $10 for life. I told them I'd rather burn the $10! HughesNet is better I guess but is up and down. Life in the sticks man!

@Smedskjaer @BradleyStreet89 @elonmusk @SpaceNews_Inc The problem with your argument is that Starlink is occupying space that neither Viasat, nor Hughesnet use. Therefore, this is simply bull**** to try and hold back the inevitable launch of Starlink that will kill off predatory companies like this.

@robinsnewswire Hughesnet also doesn’t guarantee speeds what so ever in their contract, as you can tell by the retweets I post & my own experience why.
Although I’m unable to do anything, even call 911 with their internet phone service, they won’t do anything about it, as it’s not their problem https://t.co/YnWESP3QrT

@HughesNet is literally the worst ****ing internet provider I’ve ever had. One cloud outside and you can’t use the internet at all. Never again will I sign a contract with them. Counting down the days until I can get a new internet provider. #unsatisfiedcustomer

@HughesConnects @usnews @HughesNet You are a corrupt, disgusting, garbage company that lies. You manipulate, hide and bend words like a coward.
You are by far one of the WORST ISPs in America hands down.
Your service is from the 90’s and does not lend itself to being useful in any capacity in this decade.

@iiToxicWafflesX Yes, crappy DSL ****s, but try suffering with HughesNet for half a decade! They ADVERTISE latency in the 500+ ms range! I have been here and honestly 56k was a mild improvement. Cable internet available down the block. Cost to extend to me? $50k.

@DerrickMuck @HughesNet @4H Hey Derrick, unfortunately Hughesnet doesn’t guarantee speeds in the contract you signed and 2.2mbs is actually very normal!
They’ll tell you to reset your router and if It doesn’t ‘fix’ it well, it’s not their problem.

@HughesNet is it true that upon non renewal of a contract your company demands the radio from your dish but will not take the dish off of the customers roof or even take it back?
Iv also heard trash collection won’t take the dish if you get it down? You must pay to dispose of it

@DlNatural If it works better late at night it may very well be that the problem is due to high system load, as late at night is when the lowest number of people are online. Your beam and/or gateway may be heavily loaded.
I'd ask for help on the HughesNet Support Community.
