I see my performance is great 🙂

eco,
Thank you for reaching out again and I am sorry to see this. I am unsure as to exactly why you are still receiving slow speeds. The equipment is reporting as fully operational but your speeds are low. Your signal quality for the dish is great as well. I do see the modem is currently reporting cloud coverage and rain which can definitely degrade the service in the form of slow speeds and intermittent connectivity. Once the weather is reporting as clear (no longer cloudy), I can perform some commands on the modem remotely to re-associate. If I perform this now when skies are still cloudy, it will make things worse as it may lose communication completely.
As far as having a tech come out when there are no issues being reported on our system, it may count as "customer requested" which would mean you would have to cover the cost. Hopefully the commands I perform help your issue.

Damian- Thank You for your reply. I just performed a test-275 kps.
As far as clouds causing such a degradation of the signal, I know this is the usual fall back reason, but it doesn't fly.
When my Gen 6 was installed, it was cloudy, raining. A speed test immediately was over 12mps.I had great speeds in rainy conditions until the wind event last nite, the weather in California was a National news story. We had 40+ mph gusts . My summation is the aim of the dish is off, due to wind. This then would be an installation problem, the dish was not tightened properly in it's installation - my opinion. Is there no way to check the aim of the dish? We will not have consistent clear skies until next Monday , perhaps the re-association can be performed then? I will request the re association next Monday Thanks
Is your ground station located in CA?
I don't know, you should have that info I would think. I had good speeds when there were 2 other storms in California.What I do know is that my speeds were good, then we had high wind gusts directly into the face of the dish, and my speeds after that went to well under 1 mps, I had 12 + mps when gen 6 was installed in the rain and clouds on 1.13.23. The wind gusts last Saturday appear causal to me , that's when my speeds slowed. Now I am supposed to wait a week until there are clear skies for a re-association, if this isn't a re-aim, I doubt it will help. Speed test just taken 608mps cloudy skies, no rain. Perhaps water in the connection of the coaxial cable (it was raining when installed) ? My bet is on the wind changing the aim, not a secure clamping of the dish. Thanks
