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!
Why is it that when we run the test all we get back is gobbledy Gook. I ran test with what is on the sped test on Hughes Net, and TestMy Net and both are below the national average for DL speeds and UL speeds. when is Hughes net going to get with the program and provide what their TV advertisement is saying. Fast it ain't

Comparing Hughesnet's speed results to the national average, which include fiber optic and cable and non consumer systems, is like comparing apples and oranges. Satellite internet is not fiber optc, nor is it cable, and they are "with the program" with satellite internet. The national average includes systems that consumers don't use and have speeds that we won't see for quite some time.
A satellite ISP is, for the most part, an ISP of last resort. Very few people would choose to get satellite for their internet when cable or fiber optic are available to them.
