Hi jimpamwells,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the community! We can certainly help address your concerns so I pulled up your account to run diagnostics and from what I can see, the HughesNet equipment is working normally, including your HT1100.
So we can begin addressing your speed concerns, please create a testmy.net account and run 3 tests when you experience a slow down. Post your test results link here in your thread. Please keep in mind that Hughesnet will only accept testmy.net and the official Hughesnet speed test results. Tests from other sites like speedtest.net are not accepted due to the compression technologies and latency that satellite deploys. Most important points to remember during this test: -do the tests while directly connected to the HughesNet modem with a LAN cable (NO third party Router or Wireless devices can be used) -use the 12MB size download test file ONLY if on Gen4 Service Plan -space each test at least 5 minutes apart -post your results URL here, it may look something like http://testmy.net/quickstats/C0RR0SIVE For a more in depth guide on running the tests, please visit: http://customer.kb.hughesnet.com/Pages/7001.aspx
Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.
