Hughesnet

Is anyone else out there using satellite internet through Hughesnet? We recently began experiencing extremely slow uploads and we were wondering if anyone else has figured out how to get a decent response from Technical Support

I used them. I am out in the back woods of
Arkansas. I had slow uploads and alot of technical problems due to their service. I had to have internet for work and DSL was yet to come to my neighborhood. I had to call Hughesnet one day and I swear it went overseas to India. I am a techincal person, I have dealt with alot of computer issues over the years but they had to help me through this one. BY the end of the phone call once I finally found a phone number to call on their website, the guy had me in tears by the end of the phone call. They were horrible at getting someone to respond to questions. I hated them so much, and I do not say HATE lightly. I hope you get a better response out of them then I did. I finally got DSL out where I am now and I instantly switched to it once I knew about it. NEVER had another problem.

Stephen,
Try following forum. You might be able to “talk” with others to see if your issues are more widespread.
