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. 🙂
