Anyone here have Hughsnet? Do you like it?

Used it have it 15 years ago

Sucked ass



They lie, it’s slow as foooooooooooook, has data caps, God forbid you try to stream anything at 600k; you talk to Bangladesh sub-humanoids if/when it takes a shît. Which is about once a month. (Or was)



Then again, maybe it’s all buttercups and unicorn farts now.

I have never had it but know at least 6 friends who did. once the contract was over they all dumped it.

THX. I guess it's staying with the cable co.

then, if you have a few problems with slowness or other complaints

They’ll tell you....”oh you must not have the deh 7000 or whatever receiver, you should upgrade to our new one”

For a couple hundred dollars

And after 6-8 months of it still sucking goat balls


They say “ oh maybe you should upgrade to our small business access plan, higher speeds and more unicorn farts”

For a couple hundred dollars


which it sucks too.

Must be nice to have cable


I do everything with this little phone, it’s my hotspot for laptops in the home. It’s ALL we have for internet.

Rumor has it that Starlink is getting reasonably close to starting up ("mid 2020, https://www.reviews.org/internet-service/spacex-starlink-satellite-internet-review/"). They are signing up beta testers now, focusing on higher latitudes (https://www.starlink.com/).

10 years .And its horrible with zero CS

They’re terrible

It is when it works.

The problem with all the sat feed Internet services is that each antenna frequency will only support 24 or so customers, but do they stop selling when they hit that ... NNOOOooo...

The old Tech (past 5 years) was literally unusable.

The new tech has enough speed, but can’t make the density it costs to support enough people and pay for the system so they game on people “not using it” ... LOL.. TFF., and oversell it.

It’s the only option at the ranch. Works ok but sux for streaming.

We had it in Tucson, sucked balls.

I have it and it's terrible. Fingers crossed for Starlink to not suck.

Well the previous pessimistic users have given you all the negatives about hughes. Now let me, a long time user, give you all the positives:

ad infinitum

They used to (maybe still do) had a cockblock feature. More than 200mb in 24 hours and they shut you down. lol

Could only do bigger downloads after midnight. lmao

Fuggat sheeeitt

Last house of ours was Back in the hills and hollers. Hughes was only option. Tech installed it, “this is the latest tech, it’s good now, no longer sucks”. After 3 days we called them to come get their stuff. Used cell phone as hotspots until we moved.

i have hughes (for at least 15 years) as it is the only option out here on the farm where i live. it works ok for me, but i wish it was faster and would work properly when trying to stream movies. have 13 grandkids and about half have the newest iphones/etc. offered. they remind me daily how slow hughes is. if i lived where cable was offered, i'd dump hughes.

I like the chick in their TV commercial.
