Just to elaborate on Liz's mention of the DirecTV receiver, HughesNet normally recommends against connecting satellite TV receivers due to the amount of data they can use, even if no on demand viewing is performed. DirecTV receivers are especially notorious for this. They change to downloading some things through the connected internet rather than their own dish, chewing through data, and people have actually seen their monthly data allotment wiped out because of them. Guide info, program descriptions and cast lists, and though I don't know for sure, I suspect those instant watch movies that you sometimes see in the Guide, as well. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them, but it's a risky device to have connected, data wise.
testing at 4:45 am and speed is good, Ill check it later in the day see if it holds, but speed at that time has been less 500 kbps later in the day . is that to be expected when traffic is so much higher? do you want me to post the early am test results?
Unless you've exhausted your plan data, 500Kbps is pretty darn low, even with what's going on recently.
You can post the test results link at any time, but just having a quick look at the HughesNet tests run at testmy.net, I think this may be it...

Your speeds during are taking a hit, no doubt. The reps won't be back until Monday, as they normally work M-F, so the earliest you'll likely hear from one is then. I'll tag a couple of them to ensure that this is seen. Liz Damian
