Gettin those Severe Speed Issues Again, and Web Acceleration is not supported?
Hey, im on throttle except for my Bonus Zone(currently 11GB). Im getting speeds as low as 13kB/s according to TestMy. I havent done a battery of tests yet though. But ive noticed that on the System S...
Hi folks,
Regarding WAS, “Web Acceleration Not Supported” is a normal condition. Hughes continuously updates configuration and technology to maximize user performance. Web Acceleration technology developed by Hughes accelerates non-secure (HTTP) web browsing by pre-fetching certain content, minimizing the impact of the round-trip delay over the satellite. However, the vast majority of web content is now secure (HTTPS), so Web Acceleration has no benefit for most web browsing. Hughes is turning down the Web Acceleration components in certain areas to evaluate the performance impact, if any, as part of our normal network maintenance and optimization.
Also, reduced speeds under the Fair Access Policy can fluctuate as much as when not subject to the policy, so we can't guarantee any sort of range under that circumstance.

Someone else just posted about their web acceleration showing "not supported." Could be a more widespread issue. Liz or another rep will have to check from their side to see what's going on.
Hopefully the Web Accelerator wont become Hughes' version of a McDonald's ice cream machine :P
I see the error too on my SCC. And now I would like some ice cream. :)
What beam are you in?
Beam 84. On a strange note, it looks like the very end numbers of the IPGW number on the main system status page changed, but that might just be me never paying them any mind
Edit: IN regards to my speed, its holding up great right now, but I expect the dial up speed to hit whenever other folks around me get online :P But wanna keep up with that, the brutality of this FAP condition alongside the "not supported" web acceleration could be correlatedBeam 68 here. I thought maybe it was a beam-related thing, but it sounds it might be everywhere. As for the last 4 numbers, they change when you reboot the modem.
