New Gen 5 owner in Northern California (slow as molasses)
Hi, new Gen 5 owner in Northern Calfornia, near Sacramento up in the foothills. Service installed yesterday. Slow very slow speeds. Called tech support at Hughes today and they said they will esca...
My repoint to ES17 is done. Promising for sure.
As speeds can always go up and down on a whim, I will ride this for a week ro two before I say it is fixed for sure but apepars we should be good to go.
Before the installer came over I had a about 1Mbps down.... and after, they are 24 and 17Mbps so far.
What appears to have suffered in the switch back to ES17 is uploads so far. I was getting better 2Mbps before the installer came over and now getting between 800K and 1Mbps. I can live with that. ;-)
So... so far so good. Thanks Hughes for getting things back on track.

I have been resetting and rebooting. As you will see, I did that this AM and my speeds are bad. 1 to 3mpbs. Even your 7mbps is very low. So something even with your service is off if you reset and only get 7. I find these are just numbers though. For me 2 to 3 should be usable for even watching netflix and YouTube. Both are so bad or don’t work at all. I have Netflix set to LOW quality and times out there. YouTube may play 144 videos but many pauses. So afraid even when I have 2 to 3mbps, which we should not unless under FAP, something is off as I can barely browse websites and get email. Maybe because speeds are all over the place and my connection is having hiccups. TJ
Interesting- we are also Northern CA, also Sierra foothills, same problems. Testmy says 2.2 to 2.4 on the 25 MB test. Called tech twice, they did some resets, still 2.2. Can't even listen to music, let alone anything with video. This is really not what I am paying for.
