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.

Even in the wee hours of the morning it was below 10Mbps when before I've been getting over 30Mbps consistanly. The sub 500Kbps speeds have been starting earlier and continuing later into the evening as well, now lasting until 12am or later. Could the holiday week be causing this?

Almost assuredly due to Christmas. Everybody and their brother, and their fourth cousin twice removed, using data since Sunday and Monday with thier new toys and gadgets. My speeds tanked, as well.
Oh wow, just logged my slowest download speed to date. I had seen some 12k uploads... frequent 15k... but downloads normally were at least in the 100 range. Just logged a 75K. Oy!!!

Just....wow. A litlte slower and you'll be able to make the often heard "it's like dialup" claim an actual fact. And then it's on to "it's worse than dialup." I hope you don't end up proving that one. SMH.
That's beyond awful. With that someone couldn't even justify it costing three or four times as much as dialup because it's at least three or four times faster than dialup. That's not even twice as fast. It just keeps getting worse and worse for you. :(
I was at 97Kbps last night at 9pm, the slowest it's ever been.
