Is it specific websites or pretty much any?
Do you know if your'e out of plan data? If you don't, you can check here. If it's not showing your data, click "Home" on the left, and it should then show.
Hi L5Murphy,
I see it's your first post here, so welcome to the community! I pulled up your diagnostics and see that the HughesNet equipment is working normally. I do see you have a Netgear router connected to the modem. If you haven't done so yet, you can try disconnecting the Netgear and see if using just the HughesNet modem makes a difference.
If you prefer to use the Netgear router, disable the wifi in the HughesNet modem to ensure there is no interference between both routers.

I too have had extremely slow internet speeds over the last 3+ weeks. I understand that internet use is high and that will slow speeds but my download speeds are averaging less than 200 kbps and I am dropping offline constantly. This makes it nearly impossible to download any data from the internet. As a result, I am being forced to use my cell phone to download email and data which is costing me a lot more money. It would be nice if Hughesnet could improve their service or at least give us credit for the service that we are not getting.
Thought it was just me. Using testmy.net as well, my download is better today at 2.4 Mbps and upload 554 Kbps, still getting dropped from email, secure sites such as banking and can barely bring up Bing. Yesteday download 544 Mpbs. I just recently upgraded to Gen 5 and the upgrade has proven to me to be much slower than Gen 4, never was this slow. Maybe installed wrong, who knows. So, I am being patient through these times of the virus and just hope it will get better.

It's pretty nuts for everyone. Here's hoping the nightmare will end soon.
