WHY....is.....it.....STILL........so .....slowwww??

WHY....is.....it.....STILL........so .....slowwww?? Spent an hour on the phone trying to resolve this, got about 10 minutes of decent service, then went right back to slower-than-my-ancient-dial-up, and stayed there. I AM NOT GETTING WHAT I AM PAYING FOR, and I am NOT happy!

The first step would be to open the modems internal SCC (System Control Center) and look to see if you are in FAP and if any error conditions are present.


Are the two icons at the top center of the page both green ?

I'm well beyond that step, having spent more than an hour on the phone with the tech. Got about 10minutes of good service after, then reverted to dinosaur speed and stayed there.. But you could have read THAT in the original question.......

I understand you are frustrated but you are not dealing with level 1 support any more. You are at the corporate level with Mod support. There are however others here on the forum such as "Champions" and just other long time members that are customers of HughesNet. Take the time to settle down and listen to them. They can help. If the regular folks can not help the mods will be back on Monday. Hey why not get a jump start on what the mods will need by following the suggestions of the champs or long time regular folks.

Actually I did. I was leading up to looking at the error codes and conditions that will tell a "story" of their own:



Its called one step at a time.

While you are at it, define "slow" for us.

Link to saved testmy.net results ?

I JUST (as in yesterday) went through ALL that with their tech over the phone. Cannot see how going over it all again will help.

Because this is at the corporate level, not tier one.

Good morning poppypuppy,

Welcome to the community and thank you for posting. We'd like to help address your speed concerns. As Gwalk noted, we are here at the corporate office, and if needed I can certainly escalate your case to the corporate engineers here for their assistance. 

To get started, please follow the steps here to set up a testmy.net account and run speed tests so that we get a proper evaluation of your system performance: http://customer.kb.hughesnet.com/Pages/7001.aspx

Most important points:
-do the tests while directly connected to the HughesNet modem
-use the 12MB test file
-space each test at least 5 minutes apart
-post your results URL here, it may look something like:http://testmy.net/quickstats/[yourusername]

Looking forward to hearing back from you. Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Liz

I have no idea how to do that

I cooperate to the best of my ability, but half the time I don't know what you are talking about, so I just get more frustrated. Then, with so many posts here complaining of slowness, I begin to think it isn't ME, but a corporate run-around.

I guess not treating me like a mushroom would help. About 8 hours after I was asked to take a survey, the system "miraculously" healed itself with no effort on my part. I can therefore be pretty sure the problem wasn't on MY end, hmmm?

I'm doubtful that a survey has anything to do with your system, but it if's working better for you now that's great. If you have additional concerns, feel free to come back.

Thanks,

poppypuppy, if you would just drop the attitude and jump through the hoops one more time here at the corporate level I am sure they will fix your issue. If you are worn out and don't want to humor them a bit and do what they ask then I understand and you will have to deal with your system as it is. You will have no one to blame but yourself since you have the best help available right here at this forum.
