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...
Amanda has been working on my issue behind the scenes, so I thought I'd come on and mention that we are working through it. The result is that I'll be switching to Gen 5 on a lower data plan than what I currently have. With the compression of data on streaming that is used on Gen 5, I should be able to stay within the 30g. Even if I go over 30g the throttled speed is better than what I have today so it's a no-brainer.
thanks Amanda!
Hopefully, when all is said and done and the J2 satellite is up and running, things will begin to change, even if slowly. The evening slowdowns will almost surely never be alleviated altogether, but an improvement would definitely be helpful for many.
With that said, as I stated before, I, personally, have never really been bothered by the evening slowdown, even when it gets to sub 1Mbps speeds. I just avoid doing things that require higher bandwidth, or downloading large files what would otherwise be done within a reasonable amount of time. I don't notice any difference with anything else.
