Before switching to Gen 4 it worked perfectly and we had no complaints.  (yes I know your computer says we are Gen 3. It is wrong.)  Since switching to Gen 4 it is hit and miss

Do you have a white modem, or a gray modem?

[aztmsniper]

Now thats a question I haven't been asked!  The modem is white.

Oh boy, you're gonna love this...

1. First go here: https://www.hughesnet.com/get-started/how-to-buy/find-dealer
2. Put in your full address
3. Find a local Retailer near you, check their references, and call them
4. Tell them you're waaay overdue for an upgrade to Gen5
5. Celebrate finally getting real Internet

Thanks for your interest but with all the added equipment costs. We will pass on the upgrade.

If you're out of contract, then your upfront upgrade cost is $0 on the lease option.

If you're leasing the gear, then your lease fee goes up by $5/mo. 

If you're already paying to get Internet by satellite, then sticking with the older Spaceway gear you have now will only keep you tied to much poorer, slower Internet service with less data.

$65/mo (including the lease fee) gets you 25 Mbps down, 3 Mbps up, ~1 Mbps unlimited, 10 GB daytime, and 50 GB nightime.

I had same problem.  Go to your task manager, open up Processes, and see if you have following running:

If you do, go to programs on computer, and delete this. Your usage will drop significantly.

Look into this link:

I eliminated this program under add and delete programs and nearly all of my data loss disappeared. Give it a shot. Hughs were no help at all. Discoverd my self by watching what processes were running in the task manager.

I will try this.  After hours on the phone trying to get through the crappy IVR and then actually spoke to a person (who is barely understandable), tech support is less than helpful. I also looking for a new ISP - any suggestions.  The customer services is horrible!

[Tinnibell11]

Same here...and Hughesnet techs are of zero help! They can't tell me anything. They are a ripoff and stealing my money!

30.0 GB in your plan

0.0 MB remaining

23 days remaining in your billing cycle

Good thing I never watch videos or any Netflix or even play a youtube video of just one old song.

The problem isn't my modem or my dish or any of my computers (I will never own a cell phone either)

The problem is that 30GB is nothing and I should have stayed with the 20GB plan just to save the money over the year,

AND it would be completely foolish to try the 50GB plan since it would disappear and be right back to zero with 12 days remaining.

Hughesnet works fine if it just stayed at the original speed and raise that limit to [b]100GB[/b].....bad enough that I have to wait until 2am to recieve data and do something as simple as the server hand-shake every 90 minutes.

During the day * if * I have to d/l 1.1GB it will take close to 8 hours........**bleep** that is as bad as CenturyStink DSL

I am not d/ling movies or pictures......just data to be processed by my computers......and I don't make a dime doing it..
