Hughes Network Systems

Buyer beware!!!!!!!
After spending minutes on the phone with a sales representative going over a service plan for satellite internet service, I agreed to have the service installedI was told that if I was not happy with the service at the time of the install I could refuse the month contract and have all of my money refundedAfter the install was complete, the service did not perform as I was told it wouldit was worse the my previous providerI refused the contractAfter calling to cancel the service I was told that I would only receive $of the $that I was required to pay upfront before installation could be doneOh, and it will take days to get my money backI was told that there is a $fee that cannot be refundedAfter an hour and fifteen minutes on the phone I was told that I had agreed to that fee in an email that was sent to me minutes after I got off the phone with the sales personSo take my loss and use it for your benefit and stay clear of Hughesnet!!!!

Internet service is poor, unable to use it for streaming of any kind Started out paying $64/mo, thinking this was my monthly bill and after months it increased to $91/mo Called to ask why and was informed it was only a temporary rate, I was never informed that my bill would increase after a certain amount of time I then asked to cancel the service because I cant pay $91/mo for internet, especially a service that doesn't work I was informed that I had a year contract and it would cost me $to cancel I said I never agreed to a year contract and was informed that I made a verbal agreement I have no recollection of a year contract So, now they have me, I either pay $91.00/mo for the next months for bad internet, or pay the cancellation fee Neither option is a happy one

Worst customer service I've have ever seen in my lifeAfter the frustrationIt's actually comicalThe only thing the did that they said they were going to do is bill me dollarsI'm glad the installer never showed up or calledIt saved me the trouble of having to stay in a two year contract with these peopleI've lost dollars pay to be there for the install, and it's two days later and multiple hours in calls to them and they still are no closer to resolving the issueI just called to cancel the order and was conveniently told there system was down I would have to call backGood grief! They still couldn't tell me what happened to the installer

I have been with HughesNet since, 02/07/and I had no issues with their old internet at firstWhen our contract was over with HughesNet they would call at all hours of the night wanting to renew our contract and we stated at the time we were not interested in renewing the contract, since we had no issues with the service and then boom, no internet for hours a day, would run outNever ran out before and was doing the exact same thing everydayBut at least at midnight it would reset itself to full speed!
Fast forward to June I would have no internet after going online within hours after amSo forced to upgrade the service and renew contract!! Yes, forced into it! After getting the new service hooked-up, no more problems of running out of internet at all! Then HughesNet calls in July and checks and see if the internet is working better nowWell, my husband stated "YES" and the next week out internet time starting going down, conveniently after HughesNet callsNow it is August and NO INTERNET! Keep in mind, my bill get automatically taken out of my account on the 7th of every month!! I have been out of Internet for going on weeks and it is the 16thand the bill is paid on the 7th and still no internetI was informed that the internet will reset itself at midnight on the 17thdays after paying internet, and still no internet! I have had tokens that was saved since I have never needed to use tokens until weeks ago! And went through all of themNow, it cost $a token, if I want to keep using the internet before midnight! HughesNet Customer Service is I find to be the worst experience ever!! They don't listen they try to talk over you, while you are trying to discuss the issue

I have been trying to cancel my service with Hughes Net since January I am not locked into a contractIn January they offered a free month while they "looked into" my complaints but assured me the account would be suspended and I would not have to call backI didEvery month I have had to callIt is now April and I am still having to call this company once a monthAs of April, my account finally shows suspended, but I have yet to get the return boxIf the return box is not back within days, you get a $chargeNever again will I use this companyI have never worked with a company that takes four months to cancel serviceIt is absurd

Complaint ID ***
Dear *** ***:
In response to your letter, to the executive customer support division of Hughes, we attempted to contact *** to resolve the outstanding matterIt is our understanding that *** has more concerns regarding her son’s service
At the time *** ordered his service, he had to agree to the terms and conditions of our subscriber agreement to begin his service with Hughes. Hughes’ subscriber agreement contains specific language regarding the need to provide a credit card. “You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for your billing accountYou must promptly update all information in order to keep your account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date)Changes to such information can be made at www.myHughesNet.comIf you fail to provide us with any of the foregoing information, you agree that Hughes may continue charging you for any service provided under your account, and that you will be responsible for any late fees associated with Hughes’ inability to obtain payment based on billing information you have providedYou agree that all charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date you receive your credit or charge card billYou agree that Hughes will not be responsible for any expenses that you may incur resulting from overdrawing your bank account or exceeding your credit limit as a result of an automatic charge made under this Agreement”
***’s son used her credit card to set up service on his account and Hughes’ representatives don’t have the ability to verify the information of the card holder if the person calling has all of the correct informationPer the subscriber agreement, the credit card holder must dispute charges within days of that disputed appearing on the credit card or bank statementAt this point, the account is set up under invoice billing and any disputes must be handled through the financial institution
We sincerely regret any inconvenience that *** may have experienced and again we would be glad to write a letter to his bank asking to waive any charges but we cannot refund his account as requested. At this point, we would respectfully request that our response to this complaint be accepted as closure to the case. In the event you have any additional questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much for your consideration
