Web Acceleration Not Supported

Hi all,
“Web Acceleration Not Supported” is a normal condition. Hughes continuously updates configuration and technology to maximize user performance. Web Acceleration technology developed by Hughes accelerates non-secure (HTTP) web browsing by pre-fetching certain content, minimizing the impact of the round-trip delay over the satellite. However, the vast majority of web content is now secure (HTTPS), so Web Acceleration has no benefit for most web browsing. Hughes is turning down the Web Acceleration components in certain areas to evaluate the performance impact, if any, as part of our normal network maintenance and optimization.

I see that others have reported this issue. I had a similar issue in January and Liz was able to address it.

Thank you. Beam 68 here, and I asked because I thought maybe it was a beam thing, but it appears to be more widespread than that.
