I think you misunderstood my comment about using VPN. I said using VPN worked better than without, not the other way around.
The reason for this is that the throttling HughesNet imposes based upon sites and content is circumvented when using a VPN.
I think we did understand; it's just that VPNs don't work well for satellite internet, even though they may work for some people (as you demonstrate). For other people, VPNs slow down the network and don't work well.
Not sure what you mean with "the throttling HughesNet imposes based upon sites and content." HN does not throttle sites and content; they throttle speeds when users have used up their data allowance. EDIT: they also conduct network optimisation to improve user experience (though this is subject to congestion and internet latency), and while network optimisation practices are not revealed by the company, throttling is not one of them (except of data when the user has exceeded allowance).
