gen 5 system
Just had a gen5 system installed 4 days ago and its looking like a serious mistake. For 3 of the 4 days I let it go so that maybe there was a software update needed and nothing. Speed test have nev...
Now I was quick to complain and it was for a very good reason due to very inferior internet speed ( noted in above posts)
After a second installer came out to my residence and aimed me to the new bird changed the modem out and possibly the lnb ( I havent checked the serial yet) I now have above what was advertised internet. I realize that as the bird gets more load on it that it will slow down some and honestly I can live with that.
So with that being said I hope that everyone will be sorted before long and the speeds increase for all.
Here is the latest speed test.

You aren't on Gen5 currently, the Gen5 modem is backwards compatible with the older satellite and service plans.
It sounds like you are on Jupiter One (Gen4) with a Gen4 service plan since Gen5 service plans offer upto 25Mbps and not 10Mbps.
The reason they are interested in "sell sell sell" is because Jupiter One is overloaded and they are trying to get customers off that bird onto the new Jupiter Two bird.
Thanks for the reply but the problem is I am not even getting gen 4 speeds. Top speed of 1.9 kbps , is that really and acceptable speed for this system? Not in my book.
All Im asking for is at leat close to the advertised and promised speeds, nothing more.
Im hoping there is a simple setting somewhere in the modem.
Seriously I want to make this work but if this is what I can expect speed wise what is the sense in keeping it around if my dsl is only .3 kbps slower and hlf the cost.
My mistake, I stated kbps instead of mbps.
Also here a 2 recent speed tests, which in my opinion do not come aqnywhere close to the advertised speeds.

Have you tried sending a PM to one of the admins here?
