Buffering Slow Internet and E-mail times out
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. If you are willing to try HTS again, please call 866-347-3292 and provide them with the updated case number I just messaged you, as I have now updated the case notes to ensure the call will be free of charge next time. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Also, I see you had mentioned termination earlier. If this is the step you would like to take instead, I can assist you with the process. Please private message me if this is your decision.

I have been rebooting the modem and my computer at least weekly since December and it dosn't seem to make a difference. Auto play is also turned off on facebook. I find buffering on all websites that have videos on them. I take college classes that have videos that I need to watch at times and they buffer also. I have used the public hot spot in town with my laptop connected at 3 Mbps with almost no problems watching Youtube at HD resolutions and I am also able to scroll through Facebook without having to wait for it to load so I know its not my computer. I sent a 5 mb file from my mobile phone using my G-mail account to my desktop using Mozilla Thunderbird and it took almost 10 minutes to arrive and my mail server timed out once it that time.
Hello kf4ipc,
Welcome to our community and thank you for reaching out to us here. The first thing I want to get more information on is video streaming. Do you know if any of the website you visit to watch videos have the video player settings set to "Auto" definition, or do you manually select a higher resolution? Can you find out if your college is using progressive or adaptive streaming? Do you need to use a remote application or VPN to reach any of your school documents?
Have you also recently disabled your wireless broadcast on the HughesNet modem? I see there were some devices connected over Wi-Fi as of 3/23/19, specifically on your Guest network. Are you able to test both sending and receiving from just your mobile phone?
Thank you,
Amanda
