Occasionally but never all together quit. Service sucks. I hate it but nothing much better out there.

Nothing else available except another satellite company and the complaints are essentially the same. Have had both. I can get sketchy cell phone reception, can't rely on it at all. No fiber optics, cable or anything like that.

We’ve had Wild-Blue(1st version) of Hughes. We had similar experience. Rumor has it, newest customers initially get 1st tier service (fastest load-ups/downloads)? Then as time goes, new customers get bumped to “older customers” status, who inherit 2nd tier service(little slower). Then bumped to 3rd,4th,5th,etc... Boils down to SAME volumes amongst ALL tiers. You’d think,,,a service company would just increase their available VOLUMES to keep customers - NO. So old customers end up dropping service which opens up volumes for new customers.
Have cell phone “hotspot” now. Works ok as long as phone gets decent signal(2 or better out of 4).

Of course you can- you've got a network connection that'll get there. Tom's issue is most likely that HugesNet is having such bad latency operations that DNS resolution isn't occurring before a retry.
Carriers may ADVERTISE that there's '5g service' everywhere in Iowa, but where Tom is, the hills, valleys, and trees totally kabash coverage.
People don't understand RF, and identifying something by 'G' means basically nothing in terms of radio propogation, penetration and reflection. Most uplink and downlink frequencies used in 5G are well above 1600mhz, and many go into the dozens of GHz, which is extremely limited to line-of-sight. 4G service was down at 100-1200Mhz, which is still very challenged past line-of-sight, but when used on legacy tower installations, had plenty of coverage.
There's a possibility that Tom's satellite setup has probably lost it's Low Noise Block Downconverter (LNB) which is the funny-looking appendage located at the focal point of the satellite dish. The componentry inside the LNB ages, and gets distorted by temperature changes, eventually failing, at which point, it's signal performance degrades enough to cause lots of failed packets, thus, terrible latency.

I'm not sure what the last paragraph means, but it is working now, after a 3 or 4 day lapse.

We had huges for a while and it never did work like they said and they kept wanting more money just to come check stuff so we had them hit the road! Sadly unless you can find a local provider, --- there is not much hope! Do check and keep your LNB clean of ALL snow and ice! I found that hughes dish is REAL bad about getting the signal.

Got a local company coming out next week for a site survey. Line of sight kind of thing. Kind of doubt they will get it but am going to try.

Terrestrial Line Of Sight isn't an unlikely option- I've been running it for over 15 years now. My first system was running at 1.2Ghz, the system I've not now is 1.2 and 2.4ghz. The radome is about 6" diameter and 2" thick, mounted to a 2x4 in the attic, it looks straight through the south gable (OSB, with 2" styrofoam, housewrap and vinyl siding) to a repeater site 3mi southeast of me. My antenna is about 35ft above the ground, the other end is about 65ft up, and there's a few small trees between here and there. Tonight, with stupid wind, blowing snow, ice on everything, I'm still getting solid service.
