Thing is, everything to Apple is affected. That includes News, Messages, Stocks, anything that uses iCloud...

That Apple thing is actually a separate issue that is not time dependent. It also seems to be focused on a few routes which happen to include Apple and Microsoft - though the Microsoft route appears to have been aleviated today. Can't remember what gateway you're on (I'm on San Diego), but what you're talking about is making getting an iPad updated to iPadOS 14.3 almost impossible. Not even going to try updating Xcode (6GB) on my MBP until I know it won't take 24hrs to find out it failed.

I realize this was a valid email from you, but to the email security system (wherever it was caught), it probably looked like a spambot attempting to deploy a 10MB malware to a number of recipients. That's usually what those look like, except the recipients are usually all listed as undisclosed (aka BCC) and it's usually something like a fake purchase order, delivery bill of lading, or something like that. System probably needs a small tweak in the detection rules to recognize the difference.

Just a thought on this mystery: Sometimes emails will get rejected for some reason so the sender tries again in a set amount of time. that time could be an hour, could be 24 hours. Could also be it keeps trying and finally gets accepted 24 hours later. I'm thinking that this was initially set for a single try, which is why things were failing immediately. Someone went in and changed it for a series of retries, which is why things are now showing up much later.

I've always noticed that acceleration from the gateway seems to work faster over time on average. This is mainly because of the initial 5-600ms delay(s - multiple, depending upon how many hits are needed to get started). This becomes mathematically more negligible for longer downloads as the speed of the actual download is much faster than the initial delay.

Try port 587 instead of 465. Some people seem to be having better luck with that for some reason.

Might want to check the LAN cable on both ends. Sometimes that locking pin doesn't engage and the connector doesn't make a clean connection. Could also be the ethernet adaptor or connector on the modem or the computer. It's easier to test on the modem by just moving the cable to a different slot. Like above, make sure the connector is firmly inserted.

@Liz Just wondering if when the mail accounts were moved, the new spam filter was set up for a different folder with a new name. For example, the old folder being named "Junk" and the new one named "Spam". If the webmail client pointed to two different places it might also cause something like this.

If you're getting good speeds to TestMy and having problems elsewhere, the problem is likely somewhere beyond HughesNet. In particular, the backbone that HughesNet is tied to is usually the suspect.

When I said it was transitory, I meant that MSN could have been blocking HN since before the servers switched. If they keyed on the @Hughes.net domain it wouldn't care which IP it was coming from, and therefore wouldn't know that the servers changed. However, since the new server is more secure, chances of it being a source of spam from users' malware or embedded spambots would be a lot lower. Therefore, in theory, there would be less chance of it being blocked on the receiving side, which was a horrendous problem - not just with MSN, either.

Dunno, sometimes the mail client says it's using the port you set it to, but doesn't. It can't be the server's fault because others are using that hostname/port combination and it works for them. Other than the configuration, the only other thing it could be is the type of SSL that the client is using. If it's the older TLS 1.0, chances are the new mail server is rejecting it because it's not secure enough. Most mail servers expect to see TLS 1.3 now for security reasons. Senacor never updated their system to allow for TLS 1.3 so newly released versions of Thunderbird that relied on it flat out didn't work on it. When HN moved to the new mail server, suddenly Thunderbird began to work again. So, although it may seem like it's singling you out, and I understand you may be frustrated, please don't take it personal. It's likely the mail client you're using that's the problem.

Referring to all the problems in general. Not sure if the MSN problem is a transitory one (holdover from Senacor) or a new one. What I do know is that the new one clearly doesn’t like non-SSL posting of email, which has been an industry standard for a number of years. That has created a lot of security problems, and likely led to being blocked all over the internet. Changing that may have caused some initial confusion, but it will be better in the long run.

Yeah, so I just figured out that the email system is now on Oracle Cloud. I'm guessing the extrication from Senacor didn't go smoothly. Judging from the old security problems with Senacor, I'm not surprised at all. In the long run, the move to Oracle should be beneficial, but it's going to take time for it to bed in with the webmail application, external clients, and especially with a new spam detection system. Anything that used to work with the old Senacor server likely has to be completely redone - not a task for the meek.

465 is the standard port for outbound email using SSL. It's what most clients set if you check the "Use SSL" box. I'm guessing HughesNet also has 587 open as well. As long as either works, it's all good.

There's a bonus period between 2am and 8am where you should have an extra 50GB for the month. If you can tell your devices not to auto-update, then manually do it before 8am, you can significantly drop your anytime usage.

It lasts 20 days. If your cycle is over on the 13th, that sounds about right.

I received one thanking me for renewing my Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection for $299.99. Email was from a Limestone Networks server, was from a forged email address in the ifp.com.br domain - not Microsoft. Had no links on it, nor did it contain a method of payment, but it did include a telephone number they claimed was toll free to an 808 area code in Hawaii to call in case of questions... Questions like, "I never ordered this..." Bottom line is that the robocallers are getting so lazy, they want you to call them.

Acceleration isn't going to be selective about the path though. Path differences like that usually means something is occurring beyond the gateway, past the interface with the provider.

Have to ask: Are you sure it's the same file with the exact same resolution, same video format, same audio format(s, could be plural), and same number and type of closed captions embedded? The difference could lie in any combination of these factors. Edit: And by video or audio format, I don't mean just the .mp4/.m4v or .mkv wrapper format, I mean the encoded guts underneath.

Well, if it's not that, something put a severe enough choke hold over the path that was slow enough to prevent it from buffering up and spewing out at a higher speed.

Processes die for all sorts of reasons. Bugs... low memory... inability to handle the load... timing issues... Could be anything. If this is the case, there really should be a daemon that automatically restarts the process, which if the case apparently didn't happen.
