Re: good bye Hughes

Did you check for obstructions on the radio transmitter? Those magical unicorn masks can be a devil of a problem.




But seriously,

I paid for 10 meg down and 2 meg up. I, nor technicians could ever get over 1 meg up.

Was the problem getting 1 Mbps up or 1Mbps down? Hughes lost a long time customer because they couldn't get it down.

download wasn't unusable, I paid for the 15/3. I think I got maybe 5 down.....but never over 1 upload.

Thanks. I'm always happy when someone appreciates my sense of humor. I took the first photo last summer and kept it in mind if the "right" post showed up. As I returned my modem and "transmitter" / radio the same day as treydur's post, I made it the right time to share the unicorn photo.

I'm sorry that you didn't ask here before signing up. Gen4 has sporadic speed problems which I have "helped" document. Your problem was different than mine. You experienced HughesNet using the "up to" clause (and I'd guess the "prime time slowdown" excuse). I was getting my "up to" speeds at noon, but my download speeds would drop to [.1 Mbps - 1 Mbps] in the evenings. I've posted extensively on the matter, and I will only add that there is something "wrong" when HughesNet 2014 is becomes slower than Hughes 2004. (Gen4 was definitely more reliable however.)
