Facebook Issues... Reps?

Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the heads up regarding the image upload limit, I've changed it so you should be able to upload pics here again. The limit is 100 uploads per 24hrs (I would hope no one would have to get anywhere near that), but I've increased the total uploads per user to 10000 for now.

I appreciate your detailed account of trying FB on mobile, were these done at your Gen 5 system at home? I ask because you included the speed tests from your parents' Gen 4 system. Looking forward to the requested tests on your home system. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I may very well end up trying that when I have a little more time.  Do you know of a free VPN that you can recommend, and preferably one for networking novices?

The tests on my phone were at my house, using my Gen5 service. 

The following is the rest of what I meant to post yesterday.  These are all with my LAN connected desktop on my Gen5 service.

Facebook home page...

HughesNet's Facebook page...

Instagram Burger King...

Though that's only one test session so far with Instagram, it was definitely quicker.  Of course, I need more to make that determination for sure.  

P.S.  I'm sending you a small PM.

Thank you Gabe, I've sent this over to engineering.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get some tests in during a more off peak time, like late morning or early afternoon.  I meant to today, but I ended up running out of time.  I'll try later on this evening, too.  

I should have added that, though Facebook's home page and HughesNet's Facebook page are the two I've been primarily testing with, the page itself doesn't seem to matter.  I belong to a few different Facebook groups, and also go to other Facebook pages in the course of clicking on links and such, and it's the same with all of them.

OK I'll add that as well, thank you Gabe!

@GabeU, the one I use is the SoftEther VPN Client, from the University of Tsukuba in Japan

Its pretty simple, after you install it, start it, double click VPN Relay Servers, then choose what you want. A lot of them dont work properly though, I usually chose ones in Japan or Ukraine

Thank you very much for the information.  It's greatly appreciated.

The difference between Facebook and Instagram is like night and day.  Again, LAN connected desktop on my Gen5.   This is NOT while using the VPN that Danny suggested trying.  I'll try that sometime this weekend.  Maybe later tonight.
