Recently I signed up with Hughes Network for my home office Internet solution I subscribed to the "Prime" plan which offers 10GB/month data plan When technician installed equipment and asked if I use corporate VPN, which I do, he said I should be fine with plan As a software consultant, I am required to download software as needed to perform my job Three weeks into the first month plan, I had reached my 10GB limit, but still had 50GB for off-hours from AM to AM This does not work for me as I need to work during core business hours from AM to PM Once the data limit has been reach, performance is dramatically reduced o the point where I couldn't perform my daily work functions With days remaining before my data plan was reloaded, all I could basically do was correspond via email, or limited browsing When the data plan was reloaded for the next month, I was able to resume my work until about the 9th day into the second month, I reached my data plan again This time I contacted customer service to complain about the data limitation, and asked what their biggest plan they had I could pay almost triple the amount for just 10GB more Their top tier plan neither fit my budget or my data usage requirement With very little choice, I asked to speak to a manager about providing to GB of data each month, I was told they couldn't do this because each customer gets equal amount to be fair As I tried to explain to them that even with 10GB (daytime) and 50GB (nighttime), I still wouldn't have enough to do my work Each month various for me, and for them to make an assumption that my data usage will be the same each month is just simply wrong I spoke to a customer service manager who basically was unwilling to work with me, and left me with no choice but to cancel my contract Then they wanted me to pay $to cancel the contract because they failed miserably to ensure me that their "Prime" plan was sufficient for what I needed I asked them if you're going to charge me $for cancellation, then you should give me $worth of Internet service until the fund runs out I think that's a fair offer I even agreed to $cancellation fee but they wouldn't take it To be charged $for cancellation fee for only months of service is extremely excessive How else can you try out their product without being trapped into a contract? They offered no 30-day or 60-day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with their product or service My experience with them went from very excited at first to extremely disappointed at the end My advice is to stay away from them, be cautious of their data plan and what they say will work for you

I had a very bad experience with Hughes.net.I was looking for an internet provider and I really needed just a regular speed nothing special.Their internet does not provide the speed they promise,it is disconnecting all the time.If it is raining or a little wind is not working.After one month of problems ,calls,etc I had to terminate the service.They charged me $termination fee .I was not aware about the termination fee as they did not tell me about it.MIght be that they told me and I did not hear it.I can not believe how some companies are making all their money providing a bad service and charging a lot of money for termination.I hope other people can read about my experience and avoid this company

NEVER use Hughesnet!!! We built a house and signed up for their satellite internet serviceThis service worked ok for about two days then it became worse than any diservice I ever had Very slow, couldn't even pull up email We called on several occasions each time the same thing, an hour on the phone troubleshooting and they would fix something and it would work "Ok" for a couple of days then worse than it was before We finally gave up on the laptop and started using our cell phone data to access the internet and with not using their service our bills kept going up paying over $per month without using their service because our phones were trying to update causing us to go over the data limit to hughesnet and now over limits on cell phone data After months of calling trying to fix their issue I finally called to end service with them and get another provider The rude customer service person I talked to requesting disconnect told me that I would owe over $for early disconnect By this point I didn't care just wanted to be done I specifically asked if they would bill me, he said yes The next morning $430+ debited from my account which put me in a bind with bills because I was suppose to be billed It hasn't ended yet They were suppose to send me boxes to send the router and a piece off the dish that is mounted to my roof that I by the way have to climb up and disassemble from the dish on my high pitched roof After three weeks I still did not receive the boxes, I called back to let them know I hadn't received the boxes I was told that they sent the boxes once and wouldn't send again and even though I didn't receive them I would have to provide the boxes and pay for shippingNOPE! I canceled my debit card so they couldn't once again remove money from my account without my permission as they did the last time Absolutely would not recommend their service or their lack of
