State Code 23.1.1
Hi BirdDog, so our gateway is a physical piece of equipment we share and is located in Nebraska?
Yes, it is the ground terminal that talks to the satellite and connects the signal to the internet. I'm in Arkansas but like you, my gateway terminal is in Nebraska.
It is a site with satellite dishes, lots of equipment including servers and cables connected to the internet. From what I understand they are also manned 24/7.
Just a thought, but if it routinely occurs during the Bonus period, say between 3 and 5 am, it's possible it was a series of server upgrades or other maintenance. That's when they typically do that sort of thing and could last for an hour or two.

Definitely possible and they aren't good about publishing such things.
Before I "retired", my routine was to get up at 2am and do upgrades, work out, then head off to work to beat the Northern Virginia traffic at 4-430. Used to really hate those unscheduled maintenance periods, but you knew you were in one because all the lights would be off, no signal, etc. lol
