Promotion has expired; now being throttled?
"Has anybody else experienced this after their "promotional offer" has expired? Any idea what this "promotional offer" is / was?..."
I had a promotional offer, and when it ended, nothing changed except the monthly fee went up.
There is likely something else going on with your system that coincided with the expiration of your promotional offer.
GabeU,
Thanks for the reply; I manually reset ethernet adapter stats each day when I log in at 4:30 am to closely monitor what is going on and I also run glasswire daily. As the extended data allowance ends at 8 am, I also then reset the adapter stats to monitor my usage as less data is allowed to download from then till 2 am without buying the tokens.
Anyway, good thing I posted this as somebody at Hnet must have read it and created a troubleticket and resolved the issue; would have been nice for them to send me the ticket number so when this happens again, I can get it resolved easier :mansad:. Somebody must have jiggled a cable or reset a switch or something. As my adapter stats are reset each morning, I have included a picture this morning of how it usually reads when working properly - you can see I am working much MUCH better now!! Working SO good in fact, I better WATCH that data throughput :manhappy: .
Ha ha ...yes, I learned years ago to reset the adapter stats daily as it will gradually get bigger and bigger and bigger if not reset. Then one day you'll look at it after turning the system on and it'll read 50 + gb or whatever.... and you'll be sitting there scratching your head and muttering to yourself :manlol: I do run the glasswire - nice to see when NOTHING is going on if it's a site related issue or system issue. If my slots site is not working, I'll jump to CNN.COM to see if glasswire reports activity there - if not, it's a system problem - if activity at CNN.COM, then it's a site problem. I've doing the slots since last summer - several hours a day, so I know when something is amiss.
Again, thanks for your reply, GabeU
Ooops - spoke to soon. As you can see from the image below I've been online for 45 - 50 minutes and only 145 MB of data has downloaded - when system is working properly this will read around 750MB +. Hughes net is now prompting me to mark one of the previous answers as a solution. None have provided a solution so I'm not marking any as a solution. I guess I'm just going to have to live with this for $80+ a month..... :manmad:
Again, there's no context to those pictures. They aren't helpful in any way. All this latest pic shows is that in 52:12 a total of 145MB was downloaded and 23MB was uploaded, nothing more. Not when, what, how, size(s), duration, etc. There is absolutely no context.
The pics you're posting don't show what you think they show.
Maratsade,
You're a real piece of work, aint'cha maratsade? "wasting their time and mne". Right. You are typical for "tech support" - make the customer feel like an a _ _ so they will discontinue contacting you and YOU end up with goof looking stats, giving you time to sit on YOUR duff to browse the web. Right - real good.
For your information I DID look at GabeU's replies - it's quite obvious he doesn't know what I'm talking about when the information is right in front of his eyes.
Good day all, I'm closing this ticket - I don't need to be beaten up by a company for 88.00 a month
