Severe speed issues, is there an issue at Hughes?
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.

Thanks! I'll begin testing soon! Just got online
That device is a printer on the far end of my house, shouldnt be of much trouble
Edit: As of right now, with a short burst of tests at 25MB, its running perfectly fine. I'll keep it up over the night and morning to see if its ok!
Edit 2: Its holding very good speeds while I have data. Need to keep a watch on it for a couple of days, but either the throttle was being very cruel to me compared to usual, or the Modem needed to be contacted. Hopefully it'll stay up and when I run out of the token data, run like it should when throttled normally. That ultra slow speed was very close to not having internet at all!
Gotcha! Good to hear that things are running speedily again on token data. It just can be tricky on reduced speeds since speeds (reduced or not) can and will fluctuate. I usually see speeds fluctuate by 2-3 Mbps, but I've also seen changes of over 10Mbps. So when your speeds are reduced and have already a small range to work in, seems to me to be a challenge to consistently stay on the higher end. Especially if you have multple devices on the network; imagine splitting up 2 Mbps across 3+ devices.
