    Thanks for the update, Danny89. There are times when heavy traffic demands will slow down your browsing performance but our network engineers are continually assessing service performance metrics and adjusting parameters to accommodate the increasing demand for internet bandwidth.

Hi Danny89,

 

Thanks for posting and working with the community regarding your speed concerns. As maratsade mentioned, trying to run speed tests while subject to the Fair Access Policy won't be useful. So, I've sent you a data token to use at your convenience and run tests then. I also ran diagnostics on your site and aside from being out of data, the HughesNet equipment is working normally. 

 

I understand that you noticed slow performance even on another PC directly plugged in, but just wanted to point out that this "HP709499" device that's on the 2.4 GHz network only has a fair signal strength. I suggest moving it closer to the modem or even directly connecting it to the modem. 

 

Let me know once you've run some new tests after using the data token so I can check them out on your TMN profile. Thank you!
