Throttle Speeds Recently Dropped
Beam 42 dropped its throttle speed at noon on 1/20 MST to 30 KBPS and it’s not been over 50 kbps since. (Or at least MY connection to Hughes on 42 went totally south then.) I personally offered 56 kbp...
sepmeier,
Thanks for reaching out! From what I'm seeing, you currently have plenty of data on the account, with about 46 of your monthly 50GB remaining. Your data resets every month on the 12th, so it doesn't seem that your speeds were throttled due to lack of data on the 20th. Is this issue ongoing on a different HughesNet account? In addition, as it is with normal bandwidth, your speeds are split up amongst devices, which could cause the throttle speed for one device to appear lower than it would be otherwise.
Thanks,
Remy
If anything the situation has migrated into the high speed plan. Other than at the various “speed test” sites - which are slower than a few months ago - I’m measuring no more than 1.7mbps downloads of known sized files from various locations online. This is high speed plan active. I’m about out of that again due to my daughter’s COVID required online school and my use - so when it chokes I guess I’ll have to go to town and let her poach WiFi - if it’s down to 30kbps again.
