Web Acceleration Not Supported
When investigating my slow web speed, I found that Web Acceleration (WA) is "Not Supported" on my Gen5 system. I have reverted to using my cell phone to connect to the web. I checked the WA setting...
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.

Hopefully someone will let us know what is going on.

I am having this problem too. I already made a post about this though. My beam ID is 64. last month downloading games on STEAM while in FAP was between 200-400 kilobytes per second, which is pretty good and has been the normal for years. the last few days in FAP was between 1-100 kilobytes, bouncing back and fourth pretty badly. when I have token data the speed appears to be in good shape, only FAP is slower than normal.
