Any known issue for Northern California today - 66K downloads under FAP
- 5 years ago
Hi Thomas,
I just ran diagnostics on your site and it's working normally, it's just that the monthly data is depleted so speeds are reduced (currently seeing ~270k). Please keep in mind that while subject to the Fair Access Policy, these reduced speeds are further split up between all the devices on your network.
A few options available of course, can try limiting to one device to see if there's a noticeable improvement, using a data token, or waiting until the data reset date.

Can you let me know if 87k... with only 1 computer connected to the Hughesnet Router and both 2.4 and 5Ghz turned off on the Hughes modem so only 1 device is connected... is a good speed and what I should be getting under FAP.
Right now I have this setup above and gett under 100K.
Please let me know.

That 87k was just run at 12:45 PST.

I will leave my setup in this config for the next few hours if you can check.
Seems really really really low even under FAP with only 1 computer connected and wifi turned off.
Thanks

I will also add I can barely get on this site and trying to run tests at testmy site stalls every other run so sometimes it starts a test and stalls... I have to start all over... and then still see very slow speeds.. slow speeds sub 100K and at best in mid 100s.
Something seems very off even under FAP which I am very familiar with. Always in it but normally I still get 500K or above... sub 100k something is off here in my opinion even with 1 device connected.
Thanks

The thing with reduced speeds under the Fair Access Policy is that reduced speeds will be under 1Mbps, we don't have a range more specific than that. It's just generally less than 1 Mbps, and just like for a subscriber with monthly data left, speeds can vary by several Mbps due to all kinds of factors.

Understood but that is a shame. This is the slowest I have ever experienced since being with Hughes starting back in early 2000s... getting any run with one device connected and wifi turned off and getting a 63k test is worse than 2g one can get on an old cell device. So in a matter of a day it went from the normal 500k to 800K under FAP with wifi left on to 63k with one device connected and wifi off so non of my home is now served other than 1 computer and can't even get emails now, or sporatically. My email all day as been timing out several times.
Not a happy customer but what can I do. Tokens are not an option as even when I am not under FAP I have seldom achieved the speeds advertised or even a small subset of those speeds.
May be time to go back to cell unfortunately as under 100k just does not cut it.
Thanks for your time.
Thomas
