download speed took a dive 4 days ago
Any tips or tricks to restore the excellent HughesNet service I have had over the last decades? Date Recorded Download Result(KBPS) Upload Result(KBPS) 11/21/2018 12:52 509 518 11/2...
I had a chance to call tech support and the thought is the modem has failed due to age. I was given the opportunity to rent/lease a new modem and move to a super new 20GB plan (currently 50/50 @ $100), two-year contract while on the same satellite. Is there some else to call? I know, customer retention; just venting. Thanks, John
You should create a free account at Testmy.net, as these are the only speed tests that HN accepts. You would then run some speed thests there and the site keeps logs that the mods or engineers can view and analyze.
Do you have Gen 4 or Gen 5?
Gen 4 and will use testmy.net, thnaks, John
John, make sure to connect your device directly to the modem via Ethernet cable (this helps determine whether the problem is with the modem). Also note that the recommended test file sizes for Gen4 are 12MB for download and 2MB for upload.
