Hughes Network Systems

I could not get Hughes Net to work most of the timeI could not stay on the internet even if I finally did get on itI had to constantly refresh with out much luckI had to cancel because I was not receiving the service I was paying forThey charged my credit card $ 385.00and that's after I told them not to charge any more charges to my cardThey said that I signed a contract to pay a cancellation fee, but it was their contract and they are suppose to provide a serviceWhy is the contract only one sidedI am suppose to continue paying for a service I am not receiving? The second month I finally was able to check my usage and on the second day of the new billing cycle they said I used 53% of my allowance ( Impossible) The week I had the service installed the Techwho installed the dish shows up at my home a few days later and said there was a service call, I did not call themHe goes to the dish and then comes back and said my dish was bent and customer service recommends I buy another dishHe said that I was responsible for buying another dishHe told me at the initial install that he just sent back or dishes because they were bentThis is a scam I did nothing to the dishHe said even if it was an act of God I was responsibleThere were no marks on the dish there is no way that dish would be turned inward without a mark on itCustomer service, when I tried to complain about them charging my card after being told not to he would just be silent and I would have to ask him if he was going to talk to me he said I'm listeningI asked him to let me talk to a supervisor if he was not going to talk to me, but finally I just had to hang upWhen he did talk he said he had no record of me calling beforeI asked him then how did I cancel the service if I had never called beforeWhen he realized how obvious of a lie that was he said Oh, I see where you called beforeIf you sign a document to let a company automatically hold out a monthly payment they should not be able to charge your card when you tell them not to charge anything else to your cardThe credit card cosaid I could dispute the charge after the cocharges my card, but they could not stop the charge from being madeThen the credit card cowould decide the outcome of the charge

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: They put some devices on the roof, and they told me I am not responsible for the devices if I cancel it during the first month and I cancelled it during the first month, now they tell me that I have to go to roof and bring down the devices, I am practically disabled, I cannot go to roof to bring anything down, it practically impossible, I want to tell them send your man to take not only the device to take every equipment you put on my roofGoing to the roof for me can be very dangerous and basically impossible with my disability.
Please come and take everything you put on the roof, as you told me I am not responsible for the devices you put on the roof.
I like to appreciate Revdex.com, I am so glad Hughsnet is at least responding to some office.
Regards,

With internet being an important part of our lives, there are places where Hughesnet is the only optionI DO NOT recommend this companyTheir super fast satellite service is slower than dial upCan't download pictures, email will rarely open and no chance of watching a minute videoCustomer service is even worseThey show from God knows where that internet is working just fineSo why do pages not load? Hefty fine for cancelling before your two yr contract is upStay far away from this company! Nothing but nightmare! Have to call them at least once a month to have them push their little buttonFor some reason internet will kind of work after calling

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
The attached "contract" is a document I have NEVER seen before today. I did not sign such agreement. I do not accept the company's response and do not agree with the "reduction of fee" for "early cancellation". This company did not hold true to their obligation to what I was told about my service and fees to be deducted out of my account. This company cannot continue to keep their customers with this kind of customer service
Thank you

I am rejecting this response because:
If you unwilling to waive the entirety of the fee I will seek other means to get it waived such as going to small claims court, I do not wish to take such measures, but the facts are I was promised a service that would meet my needs and I never provided such serviceWaiving only half still leaves me financially responsible for more then I feel I should be

C*** service and expensive since day one Data loss constantly except for maybe months out of years No solution other than hours of tests that get you nowhere

Dear *** ***
In response to your letter to the Executive Customer Support division of Hughes, we have attempted to contact *** to resolve the outstanding matterIt is our understanding that *** has some concerns regarding his HughesNet service.
Our Executive Customer Support reviewed all pertinent database records prior to attempting contact with ***. Our records indicate the service was activated on May 8, Regarding ***’s concerns with the online portal to make one-time payments, when making one-time payments on Hughes’ online portal there is a checkbox that’s auto selected and the user should unselect it if they don’t want to have their account set up to automatically be debited via e-check or have their credit card information saved because the system will automatically debit a current balance once the bill generates
We understand the site that is currently being used to make one-time payments can seem a little confusing and we are currently exploring the ability to design the online portal to allow a one-time payment without having to uncheck customer’s card or bank information being automatically savedIf *** would like to use a credit card to place on the account, we can refund him the $additional payment made on February 21, That would still leave him with the March invoice amount of $to pay
We sincerely regret any inconvenience that *** may have experienced and are hopeful that our actions will serve as a demonstration of our good faith. 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
