So internet

Good morning Tpaynter1,
Thanks for posting and working with the community. I pulled up your account to run diagnostics on your site and the HughesNet equipment is working normally. Please keep in mind that even when speeds are reduced while subject to the Fair Access Policy, those reduced speeds are still shared amongst all connected devices.
So if you have multiple devices on the network trying to run on less than 3 Mbps, that's going to be split up- all those devices won't get 3 Mbps each.
As maratsade noted, speeds aren't guaranteed as they do fluctuate as a result of a multitude of factors. Our suggestion is to manage the monthly data or as some other customers do, buy tokens, to avoid the Fair Access Policy.

The type of data plan I have is not the concern of this thread. The concern is the speeds consistsntly below 0.5 Mbps on the unlimited portion of my plan. This is a heavily advertised perk of the contract and it's not being delivered. It's pointless to advertise no data caps if the data is so slow it can't even open a basic webpage. I'm asking how to improve these speeds and anything else is irrelevant.
The first thing you need to do is create an account with Testmy. This will allow you to run the correct test
