Inactive devices use bandwidth on the satellite link?

I'm finally back to 2700 KBPS today! So whatever the technicians did on the back end, that was the problem. Nothing on the user end.

It is not correct, and it makes no sense. And, if you read my post, you'd see that I tested the theory and it made no difference. You are spreading misinformation.
I suspect the true answer is shrinkflation or packing more customers into the same bandwith. Of course they will not post such an answer, but I can still complain about it.
My speeds continue to be 350ish over the last several weeks. There is no solution here, and I'm desperately trying to find another ISP.
Yes, it is correct. The broadband is divided among devices. You may not believe it, but that doesn't make it incorrect. I am not spreading any misinformation; only repeating what the HughesNet reps on this site have said, and what the techs have said.

I hope you find another ISP soon.
