I had hughesnet installed 2 days ago. I was at work and my wife was at home when they installed. The installer hooked up to a pre-existing dish that has been on the roof for over 5 years and I am getting speeds of .3mb per second.

If you have not already done so, you might try power cycling the modem to see if it makes any difference.  Unplug the modem, wait at least thirty seconds, then plug it back in.  Then wait about five minutes before going online again, as it can take this long for the modem to be fully "up".  

Also, are you getting this speed with a LAN cable connected device or a WiFi connected device?  If the latter, try the former to see if it makes a difference.

I've had hughesnet for 2 weeks and still only get dl speeds of 1.5 mbps. I'm paying for 25 and supposed to get 3 mbps when I run out of data but haven't had above 1.5 mbps ever.
