State error code 12.1.9 30.101 Off and on for the last week

I can't remember if this was ever mentioned, but when you want to watch something in a resolution higher than 480p you will most likely need to turn off, or snooze, your Video Data Saver. The VDS deliberately throttles the service speed when streaming to such that is amenable to 480p, but not higher resolutions. This is done to help save data, as streaming in HD can use up to 3GB or more per hour, vs. around 700MB per hour for SD (480p).
Hope this helps. :)
The HughesNet pages do tend to take a little longer for me than most pages, but nowhere near 45 seconds or so. Maybe fifteen seconds or so. Other pages, however, like you listed in a previous post, don't tend to take even that long. Like when I click on Youtube in my favorites it opens in less than ten seconds. Google and Twitter open even faster for me than Youtube.
It's entirely possible that the slow speed you're experiencing when opening those web pages is tied to the the state codes you're seeing. Hopefully the picture of the state codes will help Amanda in figuring out what's going on. That 12.1.9 in the pic is troubling.
BTW, if you're running automatic tests you can set it like in the picture below so that it uses the sizes mentioned. Make sure to tick the nfw box, which means "no forwarding", as in no forwarding the test size, or increasing the test size, when it doesn't last long enough. I put it for every half hour and 12 times, but you can put it for whatever frequency you'd like. It's "Combined", the aforementioned 25MB for download and 4MB for upload, and nfw checked. Using 25MB for each test instead over 100MB should help to save some of that data, even if you do have a lot left at the end of the month. You never know when you might need a lot of it. :)
Hello dfbeck,
I actually have not done anything, but in looking at the system, those state codes have not reoccurred for 1 day, 23 hrs... a good sign this was related to connectivity at the gateway and hopefully temporary. General health of your system shows no equipment fault, so if there is a problem like this again in the future, it is most likely happening over the air to the satellite or gateway. I will keep your case open and check in on your system.
Can you give me an example of pages that are giving you trouble, and where you are trying to watch videos (app, browser and on what device) ?
Amanda,
I spoke too soon, the problem has returned. It occurs on any page I try to open, Youtube, Google, Twitter, are pages I open regularly so they demonstrate excessively long load times. The computer is HP, Intel i3 2100 cpu, 8 g ram, Windows 7 with a Netgear router. ( I have bypassed the router and disconnected from the ups but with no improvement I reconnected them)
When page loading times become excessive I open the system control center to see what the error is. Though the System Status light is green on the first page, an error will be displayed in the summary. I set Testmy.net up to run every half hour for 8 hours but it closed with an error when it couldn't connect to the computer.
I don't know if it is helpful but I've included a view of the System Control State Code Monitor.
