Before the Hughesnet reps here can help you, you will need to do a couple of things:

 

A. Low speeds can happen when you've run out of your data allowance. To see if you still have data remaining, log into your account at http://my.hughesnet.com/myaccount

B. If you still have data remaining, the next step is to run a series of speed tests on the modem.

1. Create a free account at Testmy.net.
2. Before you begin testing, disable the WiFi (to see how to disable WiFi on the HT2000W modem, look under "How do I manage my built in WiFi modem?" here: http://customer.kb.hughesnet.com/Documents/1041318-0001_a.pdf)
3. Run the tests while your device is connected directly  to the modem via a LAN cable
4. To test download speeds, use the manual 25MB size
5. To test upload speeds, use the manual 4MB size
6. Run 3 to 5 tests, at least 5 minutes apart. Repeat at different times during the day.
7. Post your tests results here -- the URL will look like this: http://testmy.net/quickstats/yourusername

These tests, while they may be cumbersome, are REQUIRED before the Hughesnet reps can begin to diagnose what may be wrong with your site.

Hi irentorres270, welcome to the community and thanks for reaching out to us!

 

I was able to locate your account and your case was escalated to our advanced technical support over the phone, but the call got disconnected. They've notated you will be scheduled a callback, however it doesn't say when, but usually when our advanced supports are investigating a case, it can be between 3-5 business days. Since they have already contacted you once, it could be sooner than that, but I can't make any guarantees. 

 

Hang in there, I know it's tough when you're having an ongoing issue, but they're reviewing your system, so it can take some time.

Hi again, hope everything's been resolved since I haven't heard from you. I'm going to close out this thread, but should you need assistance again you're always welcome to start a new post! 

 

Thank you.
