Gettin those Severe Speed Issues Again, and Web Acceleration is not supported?
- 4 years ago
Hi folks,
Regarding WAS, “Web Acceleration Not Supported” is a normal condition. Hughes continuously updates configuration and technology to maximize user performance. Web Acceleration technology developed by Hughes accelerates non-secure (HTTP) web browsing by pre-fetching certain content, minimizing the impact of the round-trip delay over the satellite. However, the vast majority of web content is now secure (HTTPS), so Web Acceleration has no benefit for most web browsing. Hughes is turning down the Web Acceleration components in certain areas to evaluate the performance impact, if any, as part of our normal network maintenance and optimization.
Also, reduced speeds under the Fair Access Policy can fluctuate as much as when not subject to the policy, so we can't guarantee any sort of range under that circumstance.

Beam 84. On a strange note, it looks like the very end numbers of the IPGW number on the main system status page changed, but that might just be me never paying them any mind
Edit: IN regards to my speed, its holding up great right now, but I expect the dial up speed to hit whenever other folks around me get online :P But wanna keep up with that, the brutality of this FAP condition alongside the "not supported" web acceleration could be correlated
Beam 68 here. I thought maybe it was a beam-related thing, but it sounds it might be everywhere. As for the last 4 numbers, they change when you reboot the modem.

Think of the last four digits as something akin to the router bank and port that you're connecting through at the ground station. That's how I look at it.
