    Hi todreich,

     

    Since I've addressed your concerns via PM I'll go ahead and close this thread. Feel free to start a new one should you have any other concerns.

     

    Thanks!

I've always noticed that acceleration from the gateway seems to work faster over time on average. This is mainly because of the initial 5-600ms delay(s - multiple, depending upon how many hits are needed to get started). This becomes mathematically more negligible for longer downloads as the speed of the actual download is much faster than the initial delay.

Hey MarkJFine,

 

 This makes sense to me and seems reasonable given the way Hughesnet appears ot handle traffic.
