HughesNet Satellite Internet,One Of The Worst Decisions I've Made Lately
June 11, 2020

HughesNet Satellite Internet was sold to me as 10 times faster than DSL service.
Well ... that's not what I've experienced in the last month since I switched from DSL to Satellite Internet.
I tried to watch a HBO movie and it took me three days to finally get the it, and then only in the early morning hours.
HughesNet Satellite Service's excuse ... "With so many people at home due to the Covid-19 situation, our system is overloaded."
I signed up for a two year contract with both internet and phone service, and in less than a month I've already asked what it would cost to terminate my service.
$620.00 is the quote that I was given to get out of my contract, and my monthly bill is roughly $110.0 a month.
When you try to communicate with HughesNet Customer Service, on average I had to wait over one hour to get a live person.
Bottom line ... AVOID HUGHESNET SATELLITE SERVICE AT ALL COST !
It's horrible.

Timeshares, DSL, Satellite tv/internet..... Search on google as they must have many complaints. Someone may have posted a solution.

I'll probably go back to DSL because cell service where I live is about 3 miles out of reach.
when you comment about "fast wifi", are you talking about cellular internet service, or a wifi modem connected to landline or cable service ?

The best recommendation hasn't come online yet.
Comment #11 and

My monthly bill is $230 and Verizon is wonderful but expensive. That does not include cell phone. Damn, I don't know what Cable TV package you have but $230 is freaking way too high.
My Comcast is $49/mo. for 25mb/down 2.5mb/up and I pay $50 for my Verizon cellphone service with unlimited 4GLTE data on my Samsung Galaxy S9 (paid for.)
I also watch very little TV and what little I do, I know how to stream so I don't pay for Cable TV Service - ever.

There are some good cell boosters that will pull in a signal in fringe areas but last I looked they were about $500 for a real one.

UPDATE: AT&T is dropping DSL.
Also let me repeat:
HUGHESNET SATELLITE INTERNET SERVICE IS THE WORST INTERNET AND PHONE SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD ! ! !
