    hellovolchitsa,

     

    Thank you for reaching out! We appreciate the detail you've gone into, and would love to help out. Is this month the first time you've experienced these issues with FAP? Our email team doesn't have all the tools available to them that an agent over the phone may, so they will likely attempt to reroute you there unless it's an issue that can be resolved easily.

     

    In regards to the accidental token purchase, I have gone ahead and added a $30 credit to cancel out the purchase on your account!

     

    Upon taking a look into your account, it seems you're experiencing some issues with alignment, which are likely contributing to the problems you've been experiencing. I've gone ahead and created an order for a technician to come and check out the site. This visit is complimentary, and the technician company will be reaching out to you in order to set up a date and time that works best! Please let us know how the visit goes, and if the issues you're experiencing persist after the repair!

     

    Thanks,

    Remy

Thank you! This is the exact problem I'm having. I'm in FAP condition. This problem has been going on for probably 9 months or longer, slow speeds, hard to get online in the morning, losing connectivity often during the day. It still works, but barely. I've been a loyal customer for 10 years, I'm on a fixed income and I can't  afford the service fee for realigning or moving the dish. I suspected it was an dish issue because when the tech installed the dish years ago it was fine, but because I'm in a rural area, the trees have grown and are starting to obstruct the dish. I can afford to have someone top the trees. I guess at least now my suspicions have been confirmed. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to fix it.

I would start a new topic, keeping your issue separate. I suggest this because a rep can then run remote diagnostics on your system to see if, in fact, your trees are causing signal degradation.
