Fine if there is no alternative. Data is expensive If you want to cut the cord, streaming will kill you with data overage. Owned by Dish. They want your monthly subscription. Big penalty if you want to cancel service before your term.(You will want out!)

Worst service EVER! Customer Service is a joke. The service is not reliable and the cost is ridiculous. The record keeping is even worse. I returned my equipment with tracking numbers and yet they can't track. Result, being charged for equipment I don't have or want. STAY AWAY.

This is the absolute worse internet I have ever had. I run out of data withing the first week. I cannot run my TV or any of my wireless products more than 1 week. If you like to watch Netflix or have direct TV DO NOT go with this carrier!! You have to sign a 2 year contract and to get out of it you are charged a fee.

The worst. It took me an hour and a half to watch a five minute YouTube video. Buffer. Buffer. Oops, your connection is lost. You people should be ashamed of yourselves for calling this an internet service. My only other comments contain lots of curse words. ??

I live in a very rural area and internet is hard to come by. Very limited options. I had a local provider via broadband and thought i'd try satellite internet. It wasnt a good choice. The service is extremely spotty and slow and they charge you a lot for data - there are small caps that are super easy to reach so you need to buy more and more bandwidth per month. Super expensive

Zero starts need to be an option. I can't believe this company is allowed to scam people as they do. They will require a social security number and require a length of service, years, even if youre unsatifies, you can not leave with out paying out a contacted amount of time or they will screw up your credit. buyer beware. Also, this company in not in the US, they use sourced out customer service reps in 3rd world countries...you information is not safe with them!

Terrible service. Websites are very slow or incomplete to download especially videos and pictures. Upload speeds are very slow and makes logging on to a website very difficult or sometimes not possible.

Worst internet service ever. It's rarely possible to stream a movie all the way through even with very short lived "high speed" service. Once they throttle it back it's worthless. Wish I could give it zero stars.

I’ve had it 2 days and I’m pissed that I listened to the telemarketer or Hughes employee that told me I would be able to stream. I can’t even get a connection at night. What a piece of crap I got so sorry I got it.

Beware of their massive cancellation fees. They won’t even waive it, if you sell your house. What a rip off that you can’t cancel when you don’t even live at the house anymore. Don’t sign up with these scammers.

Starting Jan. 1st. 2022 down load speed goes to "0 mps" after you reach your data cap. Pre 2022 down load speed slowed down to an average of 1.85 mps after reaching your data cap.

If you like dial up speed and 1G prices, then you might like HughesNet. The say it's high speed, but it's not even close. Hands down the worst provider I have had the displeasure of being contracted with. Do yourself a favor and stay away...
