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.

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 correlated
Beam 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.
Think of the last four digits as something akin to the router bank and port that you're connecting through at the ground station. That's how I look at it.

Ive been having extreme issue getting on in the past two hours, my speed tests ive managed to launch read as 3kB/s and 5kB/s, which is dial up speed when youre surrounded by phonelines from the 1960s because this nation has absolute disregard for infastructure outside of cities(or infastructure for getting through areas without cities as quick as possible). Im unable to get on Facebook, get connected to my instant messaging service, and it took me an hour to get this loaded(it would load incorrectly and I would have to reload it)
May I suggest finding some way of making a bottom out level for FAP condition? Like 50kB/s or something at the very worst?
Glad to hear the web acceleration thing is just testing! I remember when the internet went all HTTPS when I was on dial up, that was some real **bleep** on earth
Edit: Its almost an hour into the bonus zone, and I have had barely any improvement. I want to note that I currently have 20% of my bonus zone data, the system control center says that I am at state code 0.0.0 FULLY OPERATIONAL, 9.8 GB of Data left. But my last speed test just showed my speed for downloading, I believe, 512kb of data, as 5kB/s or 44 kbps(44000bps, which is what I'd connect to America Online at...). This is just brutal. Make corporate read this so they launch the EchoStar XXIV, even if they have to shame themselves and have Elon Musk launch it for them, good lord. I need to go outside and see if theres a 25,000 mile phoneline hanging out of the sky and see if its connected to my dish!
THIS IS EXCEPTIONALLY BAD. I fully understand all the issues involved with the overload of the system, and that theres the fair access policy, but this is practically not having internet access at all, and if im getting this kind of speed, other people who are in FAP condition are likely getting this same kind of speed on my BeamDanny, you may want to start a new ticket to deal with the speeds issue. You will need to provide the URL to your Testmy.net My Results page.
