"Folks, it works, pure and simple. If your system isn't working up to par, then it can and should be fixed"
Very true.
It is the very nature of computers and networks to have issues crop up.
Some are hardware related (modem, ODU, Gateway) while others are software related. Example some people are having connection issues after installing one of the latest Microsoft updates.
Some issues such as speed can be Hughes network related.
Any issue needs proper troubleshooting to determine and correct the root cause. One of the best ways to do that is to post right here in the Hughes Community.
Some folks are looking for "blame" while the rest of us are looking for "cause" and some of course just don't get it.
Waiting for the replies.......wrong......wrong.....all lies. Lol.Followed by a report to the BBB.
Maybe not:
"For geostationary satellites, it requires a big burst of fuel to deorbit and crash back to Earth, roughly 1,500 meters per second. In contrast, boosting that same satellite up to the graveyard orbit only takes a change of velocity of 11 meters per second. Alas, a satellite needs to do more than go fast to make it to the satellite graveyard — changing orbits also requires functional attitude controls, which not every aging satellite can pull off with grace.
By now, it's standard practice to retire old satellites in stable storage orbits 300 kilometers above the functional high geosynchronous orbits. It's a retirement home for elderly spacecraft, where they can admire the view and shuffle around peacefully without constantly having young whippersnapper satellites dodging around them. Best of all, it has a nice, healthy buffer between it and the functional satellites, so even if a retired satellite gets a bit wonky in its orbit, it won't go staggering into active traffic without warning.
At the moment we have over a hundred satellites in the graveyard orbit. For now, it's working. But eventually, with more satellites retiring upwards and onwards, sooner or later we're going to get collisions in the graveyard orbit. A high-orbit collision would produce space junk with a long residency time, endangering active satellites."

Capt. Kirk could never fit in the turbo-lift these days 🙂
