New Gen 5 owner in Northern California (slow as molasses)
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.
Appointment has been set by local dealer to come out and point my dish back to Sat 17. They did not say they will replace the dish though. Mine is the older Gen 4 dish so not sure what size it is. When they installed Gen 5 they just pointed my same dish at ES19 and slapped a new modem on back in September. Anyway, will know Monday night if this makes things better or not.
Hoping for the best.
