Slow speeds only in prime time hours

I see there's other complaints but I'm not sure what was resolved with this issue.  I have the 15mg plan, using the HT1100 modem.  In the mornings I get 20+ download speeds using testmy.net.  Afternoo...

    thanks Amanda!

dhorwath,

Thursday evening update from seasterbrook:

I ran five,12Mb, download tests on testmy.net and my average speed was 441 kbps. I also received this message from testmy.net: 

"You might have a problem... Your connection scored only 5% of the Hughes Network Systems average (95% slower)..." [which based on my 10Gb plan is pretty accurate]

You can go to my thread to to see the jpeg of the download speeds. I notified Amanda that the tests were run per her request. We'll see what happens.
