@VZWSupport ohhh k. Hard to have a network outage when there was never coverage in the first place. Everyone has to run off hughesnet internet for any calling or have land lines.

@HughesNet My father's service is down and he lives in a remote area. I need someone to call him on his cell to schedule an appointment. He was trying to make an appointment himself but was put on hold forever and his call was dropped. Please reply so I can get him help. Thankyou

@SheepDogSociety @CenturyLink Monopoly here, too. I had to pay over 100.00 a mo for about 1 Mbps (for over 3 yrs/promise "up to 10Mbps" ) no usable phone extra $. Service drops/outages. Suddenly HughesNet is available -down to the 49.00 for life all of a sudden/they dropped the phone fee too.

If Vice is correct, this is not good for Starlink, right? I hope they are wrong. We need Starlink to live up to the hype. #Starlink #Internet #ElonMusk #SpaceX #SundayMotivation #Tesla #comcast #HughesNet #Amazon #Bezos #ProjectKuiper

@RoraPickles Interesting problem. Such a solution would be freaking epic. I decided to google & found this:
1. Fixed Wireless Broadband (no cellphone)
2. Unlimitedville (mobile hotspots)
3. Satellite Internet (like HughesNet)
I'm wondering if maybe one of these + your cell would be enough

@Max57056433 @Gorl_Interupted @hughesnetstinks I dont know about the other guys contract but mine started but its over the 30 day period so I have to wait till at least the half way point. I will say I never have had a problem with hughesnet customer service though. Calling att is like reaching into a bin at goodwill.

@JesseMatchey @jazzmine_reilly I live in a flag area and I use HughesNet. I've never use zoom but I used Google meeting and it worked for that. If you're exceeding your allotted by count Hughes will still work but it slows down to a crawl. You can always pay extra get xtrabytes if you exceed your mo allotment

@HughesNet @AskHughes How did you come to the conclusion that you’re #1 satellite internet?
When Starlink launches will you admit to dropping yourself down to #2?
And if not, why would you lie (again)?

@HughesNet Hi, I just had your service installed last Thursday and it barely works, if at all. Is this considered a clear line of sight, and if not, why didn’t the installer inform me before drilling a dish into my roof? Who do I need to call to fix this? https://t.co/NkwY9cTCNi

@LegislatorGashi @AlticeUSA @optimum @westchester Repaired at 5:30 pm. The crews did their best to fix this, but w/ all of the outages and the automated service (think Kafka's "The Castle"), I'm glad I have friends w/ Verizon (not available to me, so I will have to spring for Hughesnet or Viasat w/ my "500 Mbps" Optimum plan).

@NojoNinja @BrianKirk014 @SteamedRevenge @SpaceX Viasat user here. We get 30 down and 10 up. Latency of between 30-100ms. Hughesnet on the other hand has horrible latency.
They'll need to boost those numbers to get people to jump ship.

@yannbrandt @PresleyPSC @comcast We need broadband. Will take anything we can get but Fiber optic Broadband is the the gold standard. EPAs across America need to be universally accepted providers.... We have Hughesnet at the MAX is 7 mps down and 1. 2 up. Supposedly we should get 25 down. They always overstate.

@hughesnetstinks ... because of so many more people being home during the pandemic, they shouldn't be THAT low. They can run remote diagnostics on your equipment and may be able to figure out what the problem is.
Again, it's just a suggestion, but it might be worth it to try.
