New Gen 5 owner in Northern California (slow as molasses)
Hi, new Gen 5 owner in Northern Calfornia, near Sacramento up in the foothills. Service installed yesterday. Slow very slow speeds. Called tech support at Hughes today and they said they will esca...
My repoint to ES17 is done. Promising for sure.
As speeds can always go up and down on a whim, I will ride this for a week ro two before I say it is fixed for sure but apepars we should be good to go.
Before the installer came over I had a about 1Mbps down.... and after, they are 24 and 17Mbps so far.
What appears to have suffered in the switch back to ES17 is uploads so far. I was getting better 2Mbps before the installer came over and now getting between 800K and 1Mbps. I can live with that. ;-)
So... so far so good. Thanks Hughes for getting things back on track.

So they slow your FAP when you are getting under1Mbs.Nice :)
It sure isn't what you signed up for eh?
I too noticed 10 Mbs with Gen 4 lasted longer than 20 Mbs Gen5 .The meter seems different.

Well, don't think they do that but whatever this "peak time slow issue" is, is also affecting speeds while in FAP. When I signed back from after leaving Gen 4 for a bit and coming back, I did so figuring 20GB would last me 20 days and I could be happy with "real" 1Mbps to 3Mbps during FAP. So, if Hughes fixes this problem, and if I can stay at least 1Mbps down during FAP, I will be a happy camper. That is what I signed up for. ;-)
