The reps here can run remote diagnostics on your modem to see if something is amiss. When the slowdowns happen, do you see a state code other than 0.0.0?
Right, and since it only displays one code at a time, you wouldn't know if there's something else going on. The reps here will have to check it remotely to see if there's another issue, but it may just be increased congestion, changes in the way Web sites display info, etc. Hopefully the reps will have an answer for you today.
Good morning stevewinwood,
I'm glad you found the community, thank you for posting. Diagnostics on your site show the HughesNet equipment working normally. I do see that the one device connected to wifi, a MacBook Pro, has a poor connection. I'd try moving it closer to the modem to see if there's any improvement there. The 5 Ghz network, while stronger, has a smaller range than the 2.4 GHz network.
Please keep in mind that even when subject to the Fair Access Policy, the reduced speeds are shared among any connected devices, so even if you still have just 2 connected and you're getting 1 Mbps, that's only 500 kbps between them if they're both active.
Since you mentioned you normally run out of data within the first week, I'd consider upgrading plans. You have 30 GB and 50 GB plans available and can upgrade yourself online if you click on the Shop/Upgrade option in the top menu. Just a thought.
