Gettin those Severe Speed Issues Again, and Web Acceleration is not supported?
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 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.
