    Poor customer service

    Poor customer service. I was contacted to cancel my service on 3/21/23, but they told me to suspend it if required. They also said they would pay all charges within 90 days. After which, on the 30th day of being arrested/21/23, they billed my credit card to rent equipment for $26.25. Then I called the company to cancel my rental and receive a refund, but I was told that they couldn't return the money because I was annoyed and, if I was not, they should refund my money. It's a joke to blame the client for being misled and then having to take my time calling to cancel a service because they lied to me. Never recommend this company to anyone.

    No cell service

    I loved the representative for customer service, who was able to assist me. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, as I could understand something I could not comprehend immediately. There are some negatives. The cost of HughesNet is expensive. We want to be able to purchase an unlimited service. Our situation is a bit difficult due to the region that we are in. No cell service, not even cable. We have only satellite. However, HughesNet has done a fantastic job providing us with a satellite.

    A hopeless situation

    If you're here, then you're probably just similar to me. You will have no choice but to choose this provider to access the internet. This is the only choice I have in ruralization, and I've experienced no issues with their service! It's a slow service, and they will rob you of your data plans, so you'll need to purchase "Data Blocks"! Let me explain this! If you think that service sucks?? Customer service is 100x more sloppy than customer service! As I'm stuck in a hopeless situation, I cannot even make a phone call without an internet connection! However, I'm stuck.

    Knowledgeable

    The first phone call I made did not be a success. The person I spoke to didn't appear to be knowledgeable about HughesNet's services and how their billing process works. She wasn't a single bit helpful. I tried calling again and was greeted by an excellent young man who wanted to work with me to lower my monthly bill. I appreciated it. I wouldn't say I have liked HughesNet for over 20 increasing have had no issues until this past Don'tth. don't like the way it keeps rising and increases every month. I will give this a bit of time, and if it doesn't work, if I experience the same issues, you have other options for my situation.

    It is cheaper

    I have had HughesNet for five years. Prolonged service may also have dial-up speeds limited to a slow rate. You can't stream videos without being able to download the content. It costs up to 300.00 dollars to tighten the cable connection. The security system is constantly down. It is cheaper to use Starlink but more costly, with better speed with no data caps. Lower attitude satellites provide better service.

    Able to pay

    I had only 75 GB but with 200 GB. It should continue longer when three people are connected to the internet. I wish that someone could have gotten back to me sooner. For just 10 dollars more, I'd be able to pay this, for It would be nice to have discounts for senior citizens.

    Cancel the service

    I called to cancel my services. Because of faxes, my house is now destroyed. I called to cancel the service, but they are still trying to bill me $ 325.00 for balancing benefits for something I cannot control. I've had issues with my service from the time I first used the service. I've had service representatives come out several times. There was no resolution to the problems, I could not get servbenefitsmy home even though I was told they would get it, and I was forced to switch back to Comcast service. I was unable to get any services to arrive at my home. Since my house has been destroyed, they threatened to charge me cancellation fees.

    I've never had a bad experience

    I've never had a bad experience when I make a call to any technical assistance. Fortunately, I don't frequently need to call; however, when I do, I am confident that it ensures swift and courteous. The staff is always knowledgeable and quick to determine the issue. They're very adept at making sure I am aware of the problem and what I can do to solve it.

    I am grateful for Hughes Net's outstanding customer service from REIN and Andrew. Thank you.

    The two representatives I talked to about my contract renewal were amiable, accommodating, and efficient: Rein and Andrew offered me the most excellent customer service! I'm 80, and I truly appreciate any assistance I can receive. I .a.m grateful for Hughes Net's outstanding customer service from REIN and Andrew. Thank you.

    I've been very impressed with Hughes and the employees

    I've been very impressed with Hughes and the employees. The office staff and the ones on the field. This was particularly true for the installer (his initial nickname was "Chase"). The installation was clean, professional, and certainly worthy of applause. Chase was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and enjoyable to be around and to work with. I felt as if I was with "an old friend," although I'd never had the pleasure of meeting him. Chase relaxed me regarding the process since it was evident he'd done it several times before.

    I am not happy that you can experience service

    I am impressed with your speed and efficiency. I am not happy that you can experience service interruptions but come back quicker than CenturyLink. Additionally, I am impressed by the knowledge that your installation team has.

    The most horrible customer service!

    It was the worst internet connection that I have ever experienced. It could not stream any apps, and connectivity issues were always present. Customer service was horrible, constantly insisting that it was the apps that were causing the problem and wouldn't load, told me that I had the best internet connection at 25 Mbps, even with the speed tests they have themselves, I got 5 Mbps at the highest and lowest was 1mbps or less, stupid me purchased the dish for four bills and then canceled. The highway is a robbery with the most horrible customer service! They're telling me that I'm still owed four more late cancellation charges, DO NOT use Hughesnet.

    Do this to keep your customers satisfied.

    Transferring tokens from the previous plan to upgrade to net fusion is a significant hassle. This shouldn't be as difficult. Limiting token transfers up to 20GB per calendar day seems ridiculous. It's been 3 hours, and we're not even done! Do this to keep your customers satisfied.

    I'm not sure if we'll be able to reschedule.

    We planned an installation time of 8-11 am in a new house that we're planning to move into that is 2.5 hours away from our current home. The night before, at 8 pm, we received a message saying that it was changed to 11 am until 2 pm. After 1:30 pm, I called to see whether they'd be at the house at 2. The person who answered said there would be that they would be at a couple of places later, which would have been around 3:30. Around 45 minutes later, we received a message that said 8 pm when it would become pitch-black in the woods. We canceled for today. I'm not sure if we'll be able to reschedule.

    You resembled her more

    I purchased additional data tokens that were not put into my accounts. I had to contact eight times and obtain three different case numbers before the issue was solved. The only bright spot was the person who helped me. She has fixed the problem for me. You resembled her more.

    Slow wifi

    we only got Hughes because it was the service that came here. We have complained about how slow it is, so they gave us free tokens. They have tokens you can buy through the month and the speed picks up. But that can start costing a lot of money. Finally spectrum is putting their cable back here and we will have them. I never had this problem with spectrum. Never had it slow down and we had anywhere from 4-5 people using the data.

    It isn't enjoyable. capacity

    I find HughesNet okay, but I cannot access specific streaming platforms. I can stream these platforms on my phone, but watching them on my computer is impossible. It's as if HughesNet doesn't have enough bandwidth. It isn't enjoyable. capacity

    Poor internet service. It's not working as it should. Keeps going down. We were also informed that the price would cost $55, and because the service was so poor, we needed to pay an additional $90 for a better speed service.

    Get away from them immediately

    In every way and from. The installer changed his schedule and canceled on numerous occasions. It required three trips to my home and more than two weeks to install. After installation, the service performexceptionallyely slowly. It was slow and inconsistent. Its poor performance was acknowledged solely by its customer support department. Hughes's internet is a disaster. Get away from them immediately.

    The customer service was outstanding

    The customer service was outstanding. My issue is with the buffering of video and the slower speeds offered. If cox were provided for me, I'd choose it and stop using Hughes.net. Cox isn't dependent on weather conditions, is more reliable, and has quicker speed.

    Speed is slow and not ideal for streaming videos or using the Roku or Dire Stick. But, given my location, I am glad to avail servo ices.

    The way the representative handled my situation was absolutely magnificent

    How the agent handled, my case was magnificent. If this were the only thing I had to rate, I would have rated it five stars. The reason I chose not to get five stars is quite simple. The length of time and procedures I had to take to speak to an actual person was, to me, unacceptable.

    Customer service has dramatically improved

    Customer service has dramatically improved. My requirements as a valued customer were addressed with a level of care that prevented me from being able to leave. Regardless of the Dish Network promotion, I still cannot afford local TV. This additional service is way too expensive, and the plan does not offer the NFL Network of ESPN. As an avid consumer and customer, I cannot afford that!

    THE WORST WIFI INTERNET SERVICE IVE EVER USED.

    In the absence of lying, make sure you are honest. You offer the most unprofessional service available. No one would recommend you. You charge $100 monthly, then turn the service down three days after we've paid. It's still free, but you have to cost us. Television always claims internet speeds are good; that is a BIG LIE. I TOOK AN INDEPENDENT SPEED TEST. IT SAID SLOW. IT BARELY REGISTERED. YOU ARE A TERRIBLE COMPANY. YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE. YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. THEY NEVER GET BACK TO YOU. THEY LIE ABOUT ALMOST ALL OF THE INFO WHILE YOU'RE SIGNING UP. DON'T USE HUGE; THEY ARE A MONEY PIT WITH NO SERVICE. THE WORST WIFI INTERNET SERVICE I'VE EVER USED.

    Extremely polite and professional

    I needed to sign into the app as I recently joined the account, but the app wouldn't accept my username or password, which we discussed over the phone a few months ago. Kenisha helped me reset my password within a few minutes and was extremely polite and professional.

    This is one of the worst companies ever

    This is one of the worst companies ever. The CSRs have been tremendous and have tried to help. The company is corrupt. I cannot comprehend how they can get away with using the method they run their business. Horrible service, outrageous costs. This is the only option, or we would never have considered the service. We're supposed to be offered alternatives soon and are expected to be done with this business. How do you prove which information you've used? No matter what, ours isn't fully utilized until ten days after it begins over. Then it is fine until around five days before the month's end. They require you to purchase more data to receive any service. I can't wait to get finished with this company. I'm confused as to why there isn't a class action lawsuit against them.

    The cost you are charging is too high for satellite services

    The cost you are charging is too high for satellite services. My bill angers me. I've informed several of you that the only thing I do is watch the television since I'm a disabled veteran. I'm unable to do anything, so I only go to the movies, and when you give the bill off my head and thank me by the top of my account. I'm angry.

    I chatted with agent to pay my bill a few days early

    I spoke to the agent and asked him to settle my bills a couple of days earlier (you aren't able to pay your bill online before the deadline with a thumbs-down). I believed I had spent my bill in the total amount, as he claimed that he'd had my account pulled up. Then I realized I owed more than the amount that he said. I had a second conversation with another person a feral days later and shared my displeasure and confusion. In the middle of a conversation, here came across a different agent who asked me to repridiculouslous things

    We need GOVT regulation for these Clowns

    No, it's the case that post is selling its bandwidth capabilities too much, not more. Unusual speeds, even with a FULL tank of gas, can be dl'd between 12 and 30 KBs! Slower than DIAL-UP; that was 20 years ago. Customer service is always trying to promote a new useless data plan. It's your modem, your router, your browser .....etc.

    It's cost me lots of money

    Many things weren't clarified at the time of initial installation regarding how the system functions. It wasn't even explained when I first called regarding the services. I require internet access because I am a licensed Notary and regularly use my laptop. It's cost me lots of money, and since I have a fixed income, this is a huge pain.

    The person I spoke to determined that I required an appointment for service, and when your technician arrived, there was nothing to be found wrong with my equipment, so this whole process was unproductive of my time and time.

    Never gave me my prepaid card that I was promised

    I have done everything you asked for so that I could get my prepaid card after signing up with hughes.net for the first time. You assured me you would give me $300 for a credit card! They make them take the ringer seriously, and I did what you said. I downloaded the application and filled it out, then printed it off and needed to print it out, but it wasn't enough. Then you asked for two months. I had to wait for my services and prove that I'd received service for two months.

    My two bills were included in the application; I needed to send them in, which I printed, downloaded, then sent to you. And mailed it to your rebate Department regardless of the address that was in use at the time, and the next time I called to inquire about the location of my card, you told me it was likely to have been lost in the mail, so that's the only thing I have is the money you promised! There are no false promises! Never worry about getting lost again! What a convenience! It's a scam, or Hughes Net would make good on this. I am highly disappointed because I was forced to travel to download these files from my computer and print it. I'm still using your services, and there is something wrong. You must make this right!

    We don't receive good service

    I am not happy that we're located in an area where we don't receive good service. It shuts down or fails to function all the time. It's a necessity for my company, and it's not working most of the time. Poor business, and I will move to a different business if one becomes available.

    This is among the most unprofessional service providers

    This is among the most unprofessional service providers. There is only one TV, and the service will last only three days. This is only one film and a few TV shows. We're using the middle package and were told this is good for watching television. We are the only two at the house working during the week, so the TV isn't continuously on. We were told it would cost more than $400 to end the plan. I would not recommend this company in any way. My parents have Rise broadband and haven't had issues with service like this.

    What can anyone do to give this company a five rating? Rating...they are the most outrageous ripoff that I've seen...they promised my mother a $300 cash back if she signed up for their service. And they promised her the cashback in a single month...it's been at most four months, and every time she calls, they'll give her the go-around....she is 82 years old and has no patience with this scam. ....she needs and can use the money

    It is the most awful company I've ever dealt with

    I called around the 22nd of March because I didn't have internet. I was informed that I had exhausted all the data on my internet. I agreed to take the following plan into place. I had internet access for two days, but then it stopped altogether. My computer was broken, and so were my two tablets. The tv would be on for about an hour, and then the audio would cease for around 30 seconds. Today, I am in the process of canceling my service with HughesNet. It is the most awful company I've ever dealt with.

    The technician resolved my issue; however, when I requested an appointment to connect another router, I was told I didn't need help. Then all I needed to do was touch it, and it worked. The device was connected, but it was not working. Then I stopped working with this technology. I now have to use another router for some reason, so I'm not using the other router to connect to the television.

    Hughesnet technical support is trying to be very helpful. In other words, they are an excellent company. However, when they run the speed test, they don't do it often enough, or at the very least, to the location I'm getting my signal. It took seven days after calling them to discuss an issue before they could identify my problem. Then I'm forced to wait another 13 days until the technology arrives.

    As a customer who recently signed up, I am pleased with the customer service provided by HughesNet Gen5. Customer Service was prompt, helpful, and courteous. They were able to answer every question and concern I had. The addition of a new plan with high-speed internet against its competitors and an unlimited data plan is fantastic. A great option to pick satellite internet for your home, and I'm a huge fan. I urge the company to keep providing these great services and anticipate more in the year 2023 and beyond, with outstanding quality and value.
