Customer with extremely poor service

Although I'm not a new customer (been with Hughesnet for about 10 years), I too have seen unacceptable latency issues and poor network performance in the evenings.  I too am using the Gen5 Modem on...

    Hi Cal,

     

    I just spoke with an engineer and got confirmation that network adjustments have been implemented and have improved performance overall. I see in your recent testmy.net test results that you're getting pretty good speeds. Do you still have other concerns with your service with which we can help?

Well speeds are once again tanking.  Right on time it seems. 

See testmy results:

I understand that Beam 68 is having issues, but until they are resolved, I expect some type of account credit for the hassle of having subpar performance.

BTW I ran a HN speed test and got a whopping .28Mbps download speed.  Woohoo!

Ping loops to Google are not showing any packet loss and are averaging 670ms or so (running about 40+ pings per session)

Hello cal.gilbert,

Please check your private messages in the top right-hand corner, as I have sent you more information. Thanks.

    Here are my latest results from testmy:

    http://testmy.net/quickstats/CGilbert

    Speeds took a dive about 5PM EST and are still poor.  I just finished up two quick Speedtests from HN and got .44Mbps down and 2.81 up from Dallas.  The second run was to Chicago and it logged a whopping .65Mbps down and 2.58 up.  Of note: Ping loops to Google are still in the 600ms range even though download performance is less than stellar.

    Aedan: I read your PM from earlier and anticipate a suitable resolution. 

    BTW: A service tech is due at my home on Thursday 17 Aug to perform a dish repoint. Any chance I could get on a faster beam?

      Beams are a function of geographical location,m not assignment.

      Tweaks or changes to your individual server within the gateway are possible.

        So what your're saying is that I'm stuck with sub-par performance on this Beam until/if the issues can be corrected?

        Appreciate the information but it is not an answer I was hoping for.
