HughesNet High Ping & Why This is like this on ping

[Dan221100]

i got hughes net a few months ago i got speeds of 30.8 to 51.9 on my speed test but yet in ping it is running 800s to 1900s and cant even play games or nothing. .Hughes net is crap never buy it. they charge me 100 usd a month then after i found out this net is so bad on ping u cant watch a movie or play any games. and i tried to cancel my net with them they also want to charge me another 400.00 usd to cancel the net with them. and yet the contract they talked out with me is nothing as they said this net would be. my cell phone hotspot is faster than this net. and it only cost 45 usd and unlimited. yet this net cost 99.99 usd each month and works not even at 1% of a cell phone net does. DO NOT EVER BUY HUGHES NET THEY ARE A SCAM AND THEY LIE AND ARE POS. they say if you over ur [plan data it will be slowed to 1 to 3 mbg this is a lie as well. i ran out the data to test this . after i ran speed test many times after it only showed 0.51 to a max of 0.97 mbg so thats not close to even a 1-3 mbg . the hughes net is a scam and liers. do not trust them ever. it will be good download speeds but they keep the ping so high . that watching a movie that is 30 minutes will take over 2 hours over the buffering and this will just burn out ur data the whole 2 hours trying to watch a movie. this is how they scam you from your data.

Just like the post you made on this thread -- https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...eed-is-30-on-hughesnet.3242075/#post-19931108 the data has to go to a satellite and back -- around 50,000 MILES. that takes time.
