Modem connected to Outroute ID 7...
Starting last evening my speeds were quite low, especially when compared to normal. They slowly picked back up starting around 11PM and got back to normal by midnight, but after a few modem resets it's still connecting through Outroute ID 7, and as far as I know this is not normal and may indicate a problem. The speed issues are highly unusual for me, and even on the rare occasion that my speed drops during peak usage times it's a very small drop.

Though I may not be on during the day tomorrow (Tuesday), and though I usually power the modem off when I'm not using it, I will leave the modem on. My LAN connected desktop will be off and I will turn off both WiFi radios just to be safe, but I will leave the modem on in case it needs to be looked at remotely.
This evening, and presently, it has been partly cloudy at both my location and my gateway's location. Signal strength is excellent, at 112. No packet loss and no diagnostic issues. Other than the earlier speed issues, all seems to be well. Just the Outroute ID 7 issue.
Thanks.
P.S. I know that there are more pressing matters at present, so I completely understand if this isn't looked at for a few days. It's also possible that by then it will be back to normal. In addtion, I will update to reflect such if it is back to normal when I am next online (probably Tuesday evening). Thanks again.
...didn't I say if you get thrown onto 7 due to weather that you could be on it for a few days? >.>?
man, your speeds I can only dream of.
Sure hope I see those some-day.
So far its been all about slow for me on beam 55 outroute 7.
Every now and then I see a 20Mbps and I get excited... then reality hits and I am back down in the 1Mbps to 5Mbs range... maybe 10 to 15Mbps if lucky but then I run another test and back down to the 2 to 3s.
It has been depressing for us for sure.

Update:
A couple of slow tests tonight, but overall my speed was normal.
Still on Outroute ID 7. Restarted modem at around 4PM and 11PM. Will leave on again.
Update:
Back to normal, and my speeds are not an issue. Now on Outroute ID 2. I should have just given it a few days in the first place, and my speeds were fine a few hours after originally creating this thread. And, really, with the exception of the short live, mild speed issue, the Outroute ID 7 thing didn't cause any problems. Talk about jumping the gun. Derp! SMH.
Now, if Facebook could only figure out why they've crashed for millions of people. :p
