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.

On DSL Reports I saw CORROSIVE mention to someone that they could be having issues due to thier Outroute ID being set to 7, which is a backup. Mine is also set to 7 so perhaps this is a clue?

Liz , unfortunately what goes up must come down as they say.
Held out optimism this AM but speeds are now creekely slow again.
Just a note is all.
Back down to 2 to 3 Mbps range. Guessing by tonight I will be back into slower 1Mbps range.
