Speeds the last 2 days have been <500 Kbps.

Hughesnet are you listening?

At some point we're going to organize and file complaints with the regulatory-agency-that-cannot-be-named or take more serious action.

    New customer since October. Same situation here in the 93541 area of the eastern Sierras. I had to use my Verizon hotspot to reply to this post. Currently testing speed at 354k. Never gets much better. Service (lack of) is  not useable. What is going on Hughesnet? Sub 1k is a far cry from 25 !!!!

        That's most likely due to Beam 55 having known issues that are being worked on.  There's really nothing they can do at this time, speed wise.  I'll tag the reps though as they may be able to do something for you in other ways.
