GEN-5 Speed faster than advertised
I ran a speed test using a utility different than HughesNet's and got the same excellent results. Notice the test results from a year ago of GEN-4 which I considered pretty good at the time. I just u...

Just for the heck of it, because I am at the end of my data cycle and still have a considerable amount left, I did some playing around. I downloaded a 1.68GB Linux Mint installation file just to see how long it would take. The entire file only took five minutes and ten seconds, and the download speed was phenomenal! It's almost shocking.
It almost feels like it's FIOS. LOL.
A speed of 5.70MBps (45.6Mbps) is awesome!
I am not sure if anyone has gone through their data for the month yet, but are there any stats on what the speed is once you pop your cap on Gen5?

I have been trying to FAP but I am in the 20 day resets since my install was considered a new install... I think someone at DSLR managed to FAP a unit and it showed ~3Mbps peak for their FAP speed, of course that's likely to change as time goes on. Once I FAP my unit, I will try to get some test results.
GW I have seen a very steady and stable speed with my Gen5 unit... http://testmy.net/stats/?&t=u&l=250&z=30&q=C0RR0SIVEThanks. All I see for primetime testing is on Sunday 3/19 but those held up very well compared to the misery inflicted upon users of E17 Beam 55
I can only do so much testing when I have other... things that require my attention with the unit.

That will likely also change as time goes on and loading increases. Especially the 40+ speeds.
My first G5 upload test went splat but recovered nicely. Unbelievable speeds for Friday night primetime. 40+ Mbps trumps 400 Kbps.
I maxed out everything doing a binge watch of Lost. I was "FAPPED"! Under these conditions, when I tested speed, I was downloading at 2.0-3.0 mbps. Upload speed remained unchanged at ~ 3.0 mbps.
