Modem connected to Outroute ID 7...

...didn't I say if you get thrown onto 7 due to weather that you could be on it for a few days? >.>?
Update:
Back to normal, and my speeds are not an issue. Now on Outroute ID 2. I should have just given it a few days in the first place, and my speeds were fine a few hours after originally creating this thread. And, really, with the exception of the short live, mild speed issue, the Outroute ID 7 thing didn't cause any problems. Talk about jumping the gun. Derp! SMH.
Now, if Facebook could only figure out why they've crashed for millions of people. :p

there's actually nothing wrong with 7. It just doesn't have the same capacity as the others with roughly half the bw and half the
signalsymbol rate.Edit: I exaggerated. It's actually closer to 64%.

Which begs me to ask, why do they put new customer on Outroute ID 7 then if the speeds are not as fast as others? I was placed on 7, new customer about 2 weeks now, and I am one of the beam 55ers that have barely any internet. Comes and goes... Comes in morning (although not this morning) and the dies afternoon into evening.
Is the beam 55 at fault or is the Outroute ID 7 the issue? And if one can adjust it at Hughes on the fly, why would they not try placing some of us on a different Outroute to see what happens.
I am getting only 1 to 2 Mbps this AM where in the last week, at least I was 5Mbps to 10Mbps until afternoon where then it died off and slowed to a crawl.
Today is a crawl from the get-go.

I always thought it was an automatic system, where the outroute with the least amount of usage is chosen upon gateway association.
The fact that it would go to what I would perceive to be a backup outroute... dunno.
That said, not sure you'd necessarily see a lower speed or more congestion on a path with 64% of the bandwidth/symbol rate unless it truly was loaded down with other users.
Keep in mind when I say 64% of the symbol rate, we're talking only 150 Msymbols per second versus 235. That's still 37.5MBytes (not bits) per second using a best of 4 redundancy forward error correction, if my math is correct.

Yes, you did. But this had nothing to do with weather, neither at my location or at the gateway. At most it was partly cloudy at either location, including through to the previous evening of this starting.Strange that I didn't get any notifications of replies since updating this thread earlier today, including on this site itself. Nothing on the upper right to indicate anyone replied. Very odd. Hmmm.
Update: I do now remember that the previous evening I had some weather related connection issues, so this may very well have been when it switched to Outroute ID 7.
