We pay $per month for possibly the worse Internet server ever:
1) 250mb download allowance per a hour "rolling" period2) the only time you can watch movies, videos, look at quite a few pictures, play games, download/upload pretty much anything, etc is during their "free time" which is 1am-6am3) weather always affects the signal, a cloud could just blow by and you have lost your Internet connection4) they throttle you randomly and quite oftenDuring those times loading a text page would be faster on dithan HughesNet5) $a month?! For this ^ is insaneRecently our Internet has totally went outWe pay insurance on our bill as wellCalled and their was nothing they could do but they could send out a repair man, an extra $plus any parts he might need to make a repairWe are on an older version of their plan, so they mainly just tried to get us to upgrade but we've heard worse stories of their "newer" versionSo we pay $per month which includes insurance and have to deal with all their stipulationsThey have a monopoly on us people that are ruralThis company needs to go underI wouldn't recommend them to my worse enemyIf you are a student or have a child that has to do classes or homework online, forget this providerRun the other direction

This complaint started with a letter to the Public Utilities Commission about the tactics of this company when I attempted to cancel their service because they could not provide service to my new home location It was simular to the many complaints that have been received by both government agencies, and private rating and review companies I am happy to report that the PUC was able to get Hughesnet to agree to return the penalty fee they charged me This review is put the public on notice both of the company's poor service record and the fact that there is recourse if customers contact the PUC The Revdex.com has also helped with refunds Hughenet's policy seems to be for every refund they process, many more customers will not go through the time and frustration the company has in place and will pay the penaly charges The Revdex.com's statistics show there is virtually no positive feedbackI am surprised that the Revdex.com has not downgraded their consumer ratings, but I suspect is because Hugesnet is using the 'squeaky wheel' tactic of offering refunds to the few customers that file a formal complaint Buyer beware
