Hi GweRDSKNS,
I'm glad you found the community, thank you for posting your speed test results. I pulled up your account and ran diagnostics on your site and found the equipment to be working normally. Engineering is already in the process of taking steps toward improving performance on your beam. I will ping them for an update on their progress and let you know when to expect these improvements to be rolled out to you.
Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
Thank you, I wiil wait to hear back from you.

swissvalleygal, Liz was trying to help you here: https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/Tech-Support/GEN-5-Beam-5-DO-NOT-BUY-GEN-5/td-p/101347/page/2
You never replied or provided the test results she requested.

Good morning GweRDSKNS,
Thank you for this update. Do let us know how the site visit goes this weekend. I did inquire with engineering if there are planned improvements for your beam, I have yet to hear back, but I'll let you know once I do.

This is a technical support site. You may want to start your own topic so your issues can be addressed and fixed. Complaining will not fix the issues you are having with your system, nor will it help anyone else fix theirs. You'd get a lot more out of this site if you posted your specific issues under your own thread and worked proactively with the Hughesnet staff to troubleshoot your system.

Thanks, I will post results after the site visit. Hopefully this will fix the issue.

I feel for you. I have been going through this same thing since Nov 2017. Everytime I spend 2 hours talking to support they tell me everything is fine. I have a business and can tell you it is not. The connection and speed is all over the board. Since June 28 I have been at dial up speeds. It is a waste of time to talk with s upport. I have spend over 20 hours talking with support and trying their ridiculous processes. This is not changing and it is because of tooooo many people on a service that is not working correctly - my opinion. Wasted time, lost income, lost clients and frustration is all I have to show for my monthly payments to HughesNet.

I have not heard back from Liz since Monday (7-2-18), but was called from Tier 4 support on Tuesday (7-3-18). The suppoot engineer made several attempts to troubleshoot my system and stated all equipment is working normally, he re-booted the modem and said he cannot fix the issue. He stated there is a KNOWN ISSUE in my area. He did not elaborate as to what exactly the issue is, but has scheduled a technician to come out and point my dish to a different satellite.
- maratsade7 years agoDistinguished Professor IVYou should send a private message to Liz.
- GweRDSKNS7 years agoFreshmanTech came out and re-pointed my dish to the newer echostar 19 satellite and it has made a big difference in my speed tests (up between 10mbps to 16mbps, haven’t seen speeds above that yet. However, i still can’t maintain a video feed from my security camera which uses about 128kbps upload. It will now let me see the video before it drops back down to “0”. I have to keep reselecting it to view. I Am currently monitoring it to see how the system now preforms.

Hi GweRDSKNS,
Thanks for the update. I ran diagnostics on your site just now and everything looks fine, and the speeds from the modem to the satellite are quite fast:
Speed test results for SAN - DSS
Execution time: 2018-07-09 20:09:29
Upload speed (kb/sec): 2649.592
Download speed (kb/sec): 43018.504
Round trip ping time (msec): 587
Packet loss rate (%): 0If you still have speed concerns, please run new testmy.net speed tests while directly connected to the modem and let me know once complete.
Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.
